Transcription: Bruges, the capital city of the Flanders region in West Belgium, is one of Europe's best preserved medieval cities. Most of its architecture dates from the 14th century, escaping damage in both world wars. It was once one of Europe's foremost merchant cities, with a thriving cloth trade. Today, however, its principal source of revenue is tourism. Thousands of visitors a year are drawn to its picturesque streets and waterways, helping to make Bruges one of Europe's top tourist attractions. you
