Arrive and clear passport control and luggage; allow 45–75 minutes for baggage and transit to main station or bus. This gives time to buy an NS train ticket or an airport bus ticket.
Catch an NS Intercity from Eindhoven Centraal to Delft (usually 1 change, journey ~1h40–2h). Trains run frequently — check NS.nl for live times. Travelling to Delft first keeps you close to your interview location the next day.
Choose a cheap hostel or Airbnb in central Delft so you’re within walking distance of the Markt and qblox — examples: Stayokay Delft or a private room Airbnb near the station. Book now and confirm check-in times.
Visit the Royal Delft factory and the historic Oude Kerk nearby to get a quick introduction to Delft’s porcelain heritage and its medieval architecture; Royal Delft usually open ~9:00–17:00, Oude Kerk similar — check opening times on the day.
Stroll Delft’s main square (Markt) and see the Nieuwe Kerk tower from outside (tours often run until mid‑afternoon; tower visits may close earlier). Great photo spot and easy to do at a relaxed pace.
Eat at one of the many affordable cafés around the Markt — choose a simple Dutch meal (stamppot or broodjes) or a pizza; cafés usually open until 22:00. Good value and convenient after a travel day.
Take a gentle evening walk along Delft’s canals to unwind and confirm directions to qblox for the morning. Most outdoor areas are open 24/7; indoor attractions will be closed.
Have a calm breakfast close to your hostel/Airbnb — chains like Bagels & Beans or small bakeries open from ~8:00; fuel up for the interview with coffee and a light meal.
Arrive early to the qblox office area to relax, check your route and do a final review. Aim to be there by 9:30 if your interview is at 10:00 to allow time for unexpected delays.
Celebrate or decompress after the interview with a relaxed lunch on the Markt; many places offer sandwiches, salads and daily specials — usually open midday until late afternoon.
If you want a low‑pressure afternoon, visit the Vermeer Centrum Delft (usually open ~10:00–17:00) or take a short canal boat tour (seasonal) to rest after the morning’s nerves — check exact opening and tour times.
Catch a short train to The Hague (~12–15min) for the Mauritshuis (if art interests you) or to Rotterdam (~15–20min) for the Markthal and Cube Houses; trains run every 10–30 minutes. Choose based on your energy levels.
If you stayed in Delft, try an affordable Indonesian rijsttafel or pizzeria — Delft has many reasonably priced international restaurants open into the evening. If you’re in Rotterdam, the Markthal has many budget-friendly options.
Have breakfast, collect bags and check out; trains to Rotterdam depart frequently, allowing an easy start. If you plan to return to Eindhoven tonight, travel with an open mind and light luggage.
Short 15–25 minute train from Delft to Rotterdam Centraal, depending on service; arrive centrally to start your day exploring modern architecture and food markets.
Explore the iconic Markthal (market hall) for photos and local snacks; visit the Kijk-Kubus to see inside a cube house (usually open ~10:00–17:00) for a quick architectural experience.
Choose from diverse street-food stalls inside the Markthal — ideal for budget travellers with lots of choice. Check stall opening hours; many open from late morning.
If you want a view, the Euromast offers panoramic city vistas (usually open 10:00–18:00); the Maritime Museum is also a solid choice. Check closing times and buy tickets in advance if busy.
Make your way back to Rotterdam Centraal and take a direct or one‑change train to Eindhoven (journey ~1h15–1h40). Aim to arrive in Eindhoven by early evening so you can sleep near the airport.
Check in at a budget hotel or hostel near Eindhoven Airport or Eindhoven Centraal that offers easy transfers to the airport (examples: easyHotel Eindhoven, budget Airbnbs or airport Sleep & Fly options). Book a place with early check‑out / shuttle availability.
Grab dinner near the hotel — many cheap options (local pizzerias, chain restaurants, or supermarket meal deals) available close to the station and airport; good to keep the evening simple before an early flight.
Confirm your morning transfer to Eindhoven Airport, pack carry-on essentials and rest early. If you need a taxi booked for early morning, arrange it tonight.
Have a quick hotel breakfast or grab something from a 24/7 shop if available; many budget hotels provide simple early options by arrangement — check with reception the night before.
Take your pre-booked taxi, hotel shuttle or public bus to Eindhoven Airport; allow at least 90 minutes before a 10:00 flight for check-in and security, earlier if checked baggage is required.
