Stretching across the Amstel River in the heart of the city is one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful wooden bridges, Magere Brug, known as Skinny Bridge. It attracts visitors and locals with its unique architecture and romantic secrets. The central drawbridge is opened throughout the day to let river traffic pass. Hop on a boat tour for a special glimpse from the water and snap some photos.
The white-washed bridge oozes charm, especially in the evenings when it’s lit up by over a thousand lightbulbs. The sparkling lights make this one of the most romantic views in the city – don’t be surprised to see someone down on one knee. Legend says that a kiss on the bridge will guarantee eternal love. Nearby, you can find the Amsterdam Opera, Carre Theatre, Hermitage Museum, and Royal Botanical Gardens.
