The history

De Lichtjesroute is a 22-kilometre long, electrically ornament-lit route through the city of Eindhoven. The coloured lights are on from 18 September until the second Sunday in October. The Lichtjesroute is located on public roads, departures can be made at any point and all are free of charge for everyone. You will enjoy the ornaments the most if you take your bike, then you will be on the road for roughly two hours. Children enjoy the route the most, which has two hundred thousand visitors every year. The success of De Lichtjesroute is mainly based on the willingness of about a hundred volunteers and the help of many sponsors.
