Magere brug (skinny bridge)

Magere brug (skinny bridge)

This unique bridge within the city still lets boats enter and exit by raising and lowering, and allowing people to cross the canal with ease.

This iconic bridge spans the Amstel River and is constructed of painted wood. Though the original no longer stands, the one seen today was built in 1969. It is quite small, but is really beautiful and creates a very memorable picture within the city.
