Bruges (Brugge) is the capital of West Flanders in northwestern Belgium, home to approximately 120,000 residents. It operates on Central European Time (CET/CEST). Bruges's entire historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — it is considered the best-preserved medieval city in Northern Europe, with its network of canals, Gothic buildings, beguinages, and the Markt square with its distinctive belfry forming an almost perfectly intact medieval townscape. Bruges was one of the most important commercial centres of medieval Europe — the first stock exchange in history was established here in 1309, on the Van der Beurze family square (giving the word 'bourse' and 'Börse' to European languages for 'stock exchange'). The city declined when its canals silted up and commerce shifted to Antwerp, preserving its medieval character almost unchanged for 500 years. Today Bruges attracts over 8 million visitors annually — one of Europe's most disproportionate tourism volumes relative to population.
