Bruges is the capital and biggest city of the province of West Flanders in Belgium's Flemish Region, in the country's northwest, and the country's seventh-largest city by population.

The historic city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is oval in form and covers around 430 hectares.

It is frequently referred to as the Venice of the North, along with a few other canal-based northern towns such as Amsterdam and St. Petersburg. Because of its harbor, Bruges has a considerable economic importance and was formerly one of the world's most important commercial cities. Bruges is well-known for being the home of the College of Europe, a university center dedicated to European studies.

Road

Bruges is well-served by highways in all directions:

The A10 road in Belgium connects to the A10 road at Ostend (Belgium) The European route E40 connects Ghent to the A18 motorway in Brussels (Belgium) E40 European road to Veurne and France
The A17 highway (Belgium) The European route E403 connects Kortrijk with the Tournai N31 road (Belgium) The European route E403 connects to the N49 road at Zeebrugge (Belgium) Route E34 from Europe to Antwerp

Driving within the 'egg,' the historical center of Bruges surrounded by the major circle of canals, is discouraged by traffic management techniques such as a network of one-way streets. The concept encourages the use of predetermined routes to central parking lots and convenient departure routes. The parking parks are close to the core business and tourist districts and are reasonably priced.
