Sugar dating in Kortrijk: meeting on the Leie, from the Broel Towers to Buda

Kortrijk: enterprising, creative and close to France

With almost 80,000 inhabitants, Kortrijk is the central city of south-west Flanders. It is a city of entrepreneurs and designers, with a long history in flax and textiles and today a strong name in design. The French border is just around the corner, and Lille is only half an hour's drive. That gives Kortrijk its own, slightly cross-border atmosphere.

For an introduction Kortrijk is pleasantly easy to navigate. The centre is compact, the banks of the Leie have been beautifully redeveloped in recent years and there is plenty to do without it ever getting really crowded.

Kortrijk in four places

The Broel Towers and the Leie banks

The two medieval Broel Towers on the river Leie are Kortrijk's best-known sight. Around the towers and along the renewed Leie banks you can walk, sit by the water and have a drink in the evening with a view over the river. A lovely, quiet place for a first meeting.

The Grote Markt and the Belfry

In the middle of the Grote Markt stands the Belfry, surrounded by terraces and brasseries. It is the lively heart of the city, especially on Saturdays. Early on a weekday evening it is relaxed.

The Beguinage: a hidden corner

Behind the Church of Our Lady lies the small Beguinage, one of the quietest spots in the city and part of the World Heritage of the Flemish beguinages. It is not a place to meet, but a short walk through it is a quiet and special moment during a first date.

The Buda factory and Buda island

On Buda island in the Leie you'll find creative venues such as the Budafabriek, with exhibitions and events. This is the neighbourhood of modern, creative Kortrijk, and a good place for anyone who loves art and design.

Design, history and the right moment

Kortrijk has a strong connection with design: every two years the Interieur design biennale draws international visitors in the autumn. At the Kortrijk 1302 museum you learn all about the Battle of the Golden Spurs, and the Texture museum tells the story of flax and textiles. An exhibition makes a good second meeting. For a first introduction, choose a quiet weekday evening by the Leie, or a Sunday afternoon when the city is calm.

A first meeting in three steps

1. Meet at the Broel Towers, a recognisable and public spot.

2. Walk along the Leie banks and via the Beguinage to the Grote Markt.

3. Finish on a terrace and only afterwards decide whether you would like to meet again.

Discretion in a city of entrepreneurs

In and around Kortrijk the business community knows each other well: family businesses, designers and entrepreneurs meet at the same networking evenings. If you want to keep your introduction private, don't meet where you might run into clients or colleagues, leave your company and job title off your profile and share photos only through your private photo vault. How to combine this with a visible role in business is covered in dating discreetly when your reputation matters.

Discussing expectations

Clear agreements make everything easier. Say early and calmly what you are looking for and what you can offer, so nobody is surprised later. Read how to approach this in discussing expectations without awkwardness.

Meeting safely

A terrace by the Leie or on the Grote Markt is ideal for a first time: public and relaxed. Let a friend know where you are, get home independently and never transfer money to someone you have not yet met. Also read safe sugar dating.

Kortrijk and the surrounding area

Ghent and Bruges are easy to reach from Kortrijk, and Lille is close by too. On Seek For Sugar you can search across Belgium and the Netherlands. Also see sugar dating in Ghent and sugar dating in Bruges.

Kortrijk is also the central city for the towns around it. People who live in Harelbeke, Kuurne, Wevelgem, Menen or Waregem often work or shop in Kortrijk. That makes the city centre a logical and neutral place for a first introduction: close enough to meet easily, and just far enough from your own street. For anyone working in Lille or Ghent, Kortrijk is convenient too, with good train connections and car parks close to the Grote Markt. Meet in a fixed, public place, take your time for the conversation and leave a second date up to the two of you.
