===Recreation===
Eindhoven has a lively recreational scene. For going out, there are numerous bars on the [[Market square]], Stratumseind (Stratum's End) which is the largest pub-street in the Netherlands, Dommelstraat, Wilhelmina square and throughout the rest of the city. In addition to the more culturally oriented Plaza Futura, there are three [[movie theatre|cinema]]s in the centre of town ("Servicebioscoop Zien", "Vue" and [[Pathé]] Eindhoven, which offers THX sound, IMAX screens and 3D movie viewing).
