It’s easy to visit the preHistorisch Dorp by bike! You can park your bicycle in the bicycle parking space right across the entrance.
The museum borders the Genneper Parken, a unique green space in Eindhoven. Discover Eindhoven by bike and take the time to explore not only the route to the museum, but also the other nearby routes.
Public transport
You can easily plan your route to Eindhoven train station and the preHistorisch Dorp yourself at 9292.nl/en. Note: if you’re not from the Eindhoven area, it may be cheaper and faster than a train to take a Flixbus.
From Eindhoven Central Station:
From Eindhoven Central Station it's possible to make use of the regular bus network. It's a 6-minutes' walk from the bus stop to the preHistorisch Dorp.
- Take bus line 317 (in the direction Dommelen), 318 (in the direction Luyksgestel), 407/408 (in the direction High Tech Campus) or 7 (in the direction Maxima Medisch Centrum).
- Exit the bus at the stop Boutenslaan. Walk to the traffic lights and turn left.
- Follow this road, you will walk by the park. Then follow the signs for the preHistorisch Dorp.
You can also rent a so-called ov-fiets (bicycle rented from the Dutch railway service NS) to continue your journey to the museum. It takes about fifteen minutes to cycle to the preHistorisch Dorp from the station. The route passes through Eindhoven’s city centre, by the Parktheater and through the Stadswandelpark (a public park) and you can park the bicycle right in front of the museum gates. No route is faster or more fun!

On the N2, south of Eindhoven take exit 33 (Waalre/Valkenswaard). At the end of the road go in the direction of Eindhoven.

You will then take the first left, go under a tunnel. Directly after the tunnel turn right into a dead end street. The museum is on your left!
