Skinny Bridge

Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug) is a wooden pedestrian and cyclist drawbridge that crosses the Amstel in Amsterdam-Centrum. It is known for its white timbers, regular openings for boats and strings of lights that give the bridge a distinct evening presence. Many visitors stop for a quick photo or a short riverside pause.
