Long-form routes through the festival — first-timers, budgets and night owls.
Light tours, neon markets and rooftop projections — where the festival glows once the sun goes down.
Start with the Light Lab After Dark tour at 20:00, drift to the Neon Nights Market on the first Saturday, and finish any evening on the Microlab rooftop for the 360-degree city projection.
Free talks, open studios and the ten-euro dinner that keeps your weekend solvent.
Many talks are free before 18:00, the Open Studio Weekend costs nothing, and the food trucks at Strijp-S serve the best-value dinners in the city. Skip the paid previews; the campus itself is the show.
One day, five stops: how to see the campus, the museum and the market without sprinting.
Start at the Klokgebouw for the morning talks, cross to the Ketelhuis for the pavilion shows, lunch at the food trucks on Torenallee, then walk to the Van Abbemuseum before finishing at the Stadhuisplein Market.
