How do I get to Klokgebouw?

Klokgebouw's practical page says to get off at Eindhoven Strijp-S station, next to the site, and that the walk from Eindhoven Centraal takes within 20 minutes. Bus lines 401, 402 and 403 run from Centraal to the Strijp-S stop. There is plenty of bike parking in front of the Klokgebouw and on Ketelhuisplein, but no guarded bike storage. The page says nothing about night buses, so check New Year's Eve public transport before you travel. For other Klokgebouw dates, see Klokgebouw dance events, November 2026 to January 2027.
