Now a major business center, the medieval town of Kortrijk is full of historical and cultural sites.

Much of the city's medieval architecture remains intact and is remarkably well preserved and restored. The city center is one of the largest car-free areas in Belgium. The beguinage, as well as the belfry, were recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. Kortrijk is also home to several museums. Cars are required to yield to pedestrians and cyclists. In general, cars are led to large underground parkings in the historic center of Kortrijk or Park&Ride parkings at outside the city center. Large parts of the historic center are car free.

The trip was wonderful. Your team reacted very quickly and sorted out any misunderstandings immediately. The route was properly calculated and, although I drove alone throughout the trip, it wasn't very tiring. As for the hotels, they were neat and clean, some especially friendly, bright, and walking distance from the city center. I have already recommended your website to my colleagues.

We found your website very easy and intuitive. We were able to customize our trip and learn details about the various cities. We were a bit nervous about ordering our hotels on the spot. When we got to our first destination and handed the voucher to the receptionist and they confirm that everything was okay, then that's when we relaxed smiled and said this is really cool. We set up for different accommodations and everything was perfect. We will definitely consider using RoutePerfect again and we will definitely recommend RoutePerfect to other people.
