Additional Information
Prosperous Kortrijk (Courtrai in French) was founded as the Roman settlement of Cortoriacum. It grew wealthy as a flax and linen center but was severely bombed by the Allies during WWII. It retains a gorgeous begijnhof and an important historical resonance as the venue for Flanders’ defining medieval battle.
Close to the French border and almost equidistant from Bruges, Ghent, and Brussels, Kortrijk is a popular city for business travelers and trade expos.
