The Magere Brug, or "Skinny Bridge," is a historic double drawbridge spanning the Amstel River in Amsterdam-Centrum. Originally built in 1691, it has undergone several renovations, with the current structure completed in 1934. The bridge is a rijksmonument and features charming wooden aesthetics, making it a popular photo spot and film location, famously appearing in a James Bond film. Annually, a concert is held on Liberation Day, attended by royal family members. The bridge is now pedestrian and cyclist-friendly, with no admission fees. Visitors can enjoy the picturesque views and charming lights that adorn the bridge at night. The bridge is accessible via public transport, with nearby tram and bus stops.
