Magere Brug

The most famous landmark bridge in Amsterdam, which can also be viewed in the movie Diamonds Are Forever, is probably the Magere Brug. The name literally means the skinny bridge as the original bridge which was build in 1691 was notably quite narrow. The bridge has been replaced and renovated a couple times since then, yet it’s nickname, the skinny bridge, remained. The bridge goes over the Amstel river and is actually one of the hidden gems of Amsterdam. It’s a great place to visit to take pictures of the beautiful canals. At night the bridge shines bright as it’s decorated with many lights.
