After Bruges, Kortrijk is the biggest city in West Flanders and you can feel it. It absolutely buzzes here. With a well-preserved historic centre, including a beguinage and belfry on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this city centre is a pleasure to visit.

The pretty facades alone are often a feast for the eyes. Besides historical architecture, you will also find contemporary goodies. After all, Kortrijk also scores high marks when it comes to design. This interesting mix of old and new, complemented by a flourishing culinary and cultural life, makes Kortrijk a city that belongs in the category ‘hipper than hip’.
