Magere Brug

The iconic Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge) is Amsterdam's most famous drawbridge, gracefully spanning the Amstel River with its elegant white wooden frame. Dating back to the 1930s, this picturesque double-leaf bascule bridge is beautifully illuminated at night with hundreds of light bulbs, creating a romantic reflection on the water. The bridge opens regularly for boat traffic, offering visitors a charming glimpse of Amsterdam's maritime heritage in action.
