The environment is very nice, in all seasons. Towers can be visited during art exhibitions. It's a good starting point for nice walks along the river Leie, or to visit the old city center with very nice old buildings and churches and carfree shopping streets....More

Well worth the walk from the Station

Kortrijk is a very pleasant little town that is an easy side trip from places in Belgium or from Lille. The walk through the town from the station revealed some interesting architecture, topped by the view along the river to the Broel Towers.
