Discover the charm of De Bergen, a historic district in Eindhoven known for its atmospheric streets and unique shops. The name ‘De Bergen’ includes the streets Kleine Berg, Grote Berg, Bergstraat and the surrounding alleys. Although there are no real mountains, this part of the city is built on barely visible hills, which gives it a special atmosphere.
As one of the older parts of the city, De Bergen has retained much of its historic character, despite the war damage. Stroll through the narrow streets and discover the local boutiques selling antiques and books. Take a break on one of the cozy terraces at the many coffee shops, restaurants and cafes.
A must-visit is the Bergstraat, where you can find the city roastery for a delicious cup of coffee and hotel The Match, which gets its name from the former match factory nearby. This hotel is steeped in street art and offers a unique experience.
The shopping streets of De Bergen are often compared to the luxurious PC Hooftstraat in Amsterdam because of the exclusive shops and the atmosphere it exudes. Others compare it to the Latin Quarter in Paris for its charming and characteristic streets.
After a day of shopping and sightseeing, you can enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants in De Bergen. Whether you’re looking for a fancy dinner or a cozy eatery, you’ll find something for everyone here. Be sure to take a look at Berlage Kitchen & Bar, both inside and in the beautiful garden you can enjoy.
In short, if you’re looking for a unique shopping experience and culinary delights in Eindhoven, you definitely shouldn’t miss De Bergen!
