Where to stay in Strijp
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Strijp reads as a place people live rather than visit. The Maranathakerk and De Bron sit among residential streets, and De Drentslamp is a marker rather than an attraction, which leaves the borough short of the restaurants and reception desks a stay wants. Lodging is thin. Eindhoven's centre supplies both, and the borough is an easy hop from it.

About Strijp
What are the main landmarks in Strijp?
Three names carry Strijp's landmark list. The Maranathakerk serves a congregation here, De Bron adds a second name to a short list, and De Drentslamp is the kind of small marker a former town keeps once a city has grown around it. None of them draw coaches.
They mark where the parish stood.
What is the history of Strijp?
The borough name is older than the city around it. North Brabant knew Strijp as a town of its own, and only when Eindhoven finally reached out across the surrounding parishes did that independence end. The name survived the change.
The Maranathakerk still gathers a congregation on ground the old parish held.
Where is Strijp?
Eindhoven's built-up area closed around the parish of Strijp, and a town that once stood separate in North Brabant now reads as one borough among several.
