The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is egg-shaped and about 430 hectares in size.
The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares, including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge (meaning "Brugge aan Zee" or "Bruges on Sea").
The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008), of which around 20,000 live in the historic centre.
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North".
