Magere Brug
Magere Brug, or the “Skinny Bridge,” is one of Amsterdam’s most iconic and photogenic drawbridges, gracefully spanning the Amstel River between the Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht canals. Painted in bright white and illuminated by hundreds of small lights at night, the bridge offers a romantic and timeless backdrop for both day and evening photography. Its classic Dutch design and scenic riverside location make it a favorite among photographers capturing the essence of Amsterdam’s historic charm. Early morning or twilight offers the best lighting and fewer crowds, and nearby bridges or canal-side paths provide excellent vantage points. The bridge is easily accessible on foot or by bike from the city center. (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
