🇳🇱 Van Gogh's Hidden Gem Near Eindhoven: The Potato Village 🥔🎨
Just 8km east of Eindhoven (a scenic 30-min bike ride 🚴♂️💨), you’ll find Nuenen—the quaint village where Van Gogh lived for 2 years and painted his iconic The Potato Eaters. 🥔 Why It’s Special: "The Potato Eaters" EVERYWHERE: Streets, cafés, murals, and even a statue… though the real painting is in Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum. Van Gogh’s Former Homes: Discovered he came from a wealthy family (mind blown 💥). Tiny Storybook Church (first pic! ⛪❤️). Tragic Love Story: A local woman who lived next door and had a doomed romance with Vincent. Rainbow Church 🌈: A modern church with a very Dutch twist. 📍 Key Spots: All within 300m of the Van Gogh Museum (so easy to explore!). 🚲 How to Get There: Bike from Eindhoven (~30 mins, lovely ride!). Bus (Line 6 or 261) or drive (~15 mins). #VanGoghVillage #Nuenen #PotatoEaters #DutchArt #EindhovenDayTrip #HiddenNetherlands #VincentVanGogh #ArtHistory
