I actually got given a different name for this bridge. 2 Sisters bridge. The sorry is that 2 sisters lived on opposite sides and the bridge was built to reunite them. All the same it's a lovely addition to the nighttime view of the river and quite a nice story. Swing by.

We took the private small boat to pass here. I really don't know the history but boat driver they to us.. about romantic thing like "if the couple pass under this bridge together, that couple gonna live together untill they died." Nice old bridge.

A beautiful and small bridge. Good place to hang out or to take picture. You can get a good view on it from Blauwbrug bridge. There are the Nationale Opera & Ballet nearby and much more other beautiful and amazing bridges.

(Translated by Google) Even I felt fat on this bridge, you can imagine how thin! (Original) Zelfs ik voelde me dik op deze brug, kun je nagaan hoe mager!

A short walk from the tram. Perfect for couples to walk across the bridge. This bridge is also known as Love Lock Bridge. If you kiss your lover on this bridge, you will stay together forever! You can no longer secure a padlock along the bridge.

Delightful piece of Amsterdam. Especially on late summer nights. A place to stop, take in the view and admire the city from the water.

Really nice place to stay for a quick relaxation or just to see the view over the river and Amsterdam! There are also some breweries next to the bridge which serve the popular Amstel beer.

The view from the bridge offers a postcard-perfect snapshot of the Amstel River and the surrounding architecture. Whether strolling along the canal banks or capturing the city lights, the Skinny Bridge provides a quintessential Amsterdam backdrop. The bridge's history adds a layer of fascination, and its narrow structure encourages a leisurely pace, allowing visitors to savor the moment.

A visit to this iconic Amsterdam landmark is a must for those seeking a tranquil and visually enchanting experience, offering a timeless connection to the city's romantic allure.

The "Skinny Bridge," or the "Magere Brug" as it is known in Dutch, is one of the most photographed attractions in Amsterdam. A picturesque drawbridge spanning the Amstel River in the heart of the city, it's one of Amsterdam's most iconic and recognizable landmarks. The bridge is characterized by its elegant and delicate design, with a series of white wooden beams and a classic Dutch double-swipe mechanism. The name "Skinny Bridge" is derived from the original bridge at this location, which was quite narrow. The current bridge, built in 1934, is wider but still retains its historic charm. According to legend, the bridge was built by two wealthy skinny sisters, the "magere sussen", who lived on opposte sides of the water and who wanted to keep their commute time to a minimum. A symbol of the city's rich history and enduring charm, it is particularly enchanting when illuminated at night with 1,200 light bulbs, creating a stunning reflection in the water. The Skinny Bridge is a popular spot for tourists and photographers, offering beautiful views of the Amstel River and the surrounding area. Another local legend states that couples who kiss on the bridge will stay together forever.

Wonderful experience visiting this bridge overlooking the canal. Lot's of boats are exploring the beauty of the canal and the bistro's all around. Best visiting time is during sunset when day light is leaving for the night lights.

(Translated by Google) Perhaps the most famous bridge in Amsterdam is the Magere Brug over the river Amstel. It was built in 1934 and connects the banks at Kerkstraat. However, the original bridge at this location, the Kerkstraatbrug, dates from 1691. Since this bridge was quite narrow, the name 'skinny bridge' was already created at that time. (Original) Wellicht de beroemdste brug van Amsterdam is de Magere Brug over de rivier de Amstel. Hij is gebouwd in 1934 en verbindt de oevers ter hoogte van de Kerkstraat. De oorspronkelijke brug op deze plek, de Kerkstraatbrug, is echter al van 1691. Aangezien deze brug behoorlijk smal was, is de naam 'magere brug' in die tijd al ontstaan.

Go in the night time, don't waste your time during the day.

Iconic landmark, great view of the Amstel from there and nearby shores.

Lovely bridge across the Amstel River, proposed to my fiancée underneath the bridge on a boat so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

The SKINNY BRIDGE in Amsterdam Netherlands was easy to navigate. We were able to walk across and view the canal. Such a beautiful site.

Great little bridge not too far away from the Zoo. So, you can combine these two attractions in one outing. However, fishing wasn’t good by the bridge, if you are into it.

Very beautiful and off the beaten path. A super cool location to visit in Amsterdam if you want to avoid the most touristy places.

Very touristic site with nice views over the Amstel River and the iconic buildings on both sides

It's a bridge. It's a picturesque bridge, no doubt about that, but there are a lot of bridges in Amsterdam. And a lot of them are very picturesque.

Magere Brug in Amsterdam is a beautiful and iconic spot. This elegant wooden bridge with narrow beams spans the Amstel River and offers picturesque views of the city. During the day, you can appreciate its traditional Dutch architecture, while at night, it lights up, creating a romantic atmosphere. It's a perfect place for a leisurely stroll, taking photos, and soaking in the timeless charm of Amsterdam. A must-visit for anyone exploring this captivating city.

This bridge was witnessed yesterday on King's Day 2023 in its most beautiful and splendid form. It was amazing festival in this area of Amsterdam. Love ❤️ it.

It’s my bridge and I love it. Don’t turn the lights off ever please . Best viewed at sunset or sunrise . Or moon light, full moon preferably.

It's hard to get a good picture because so many things are in the way.

Part of Amsterdam history. Ate at restaurant at end of bridge. Excellent apple cake with whipped cream

Very nice view from the bridge

A beautiful place to hang around. The bridge wasn’t big but the structure was special. Knowing the story and the engineering behind it made the trip even better! A great spot for taking photos and sitting along the bank with friends. Lovely.

Chill bridge, nice during the night, cool view, hectic during summer, it's a bridge

Good deals, home stuff

Nice place to watch boats

Nice area to walk around. Watch out for people on bikes and scooters.

Its a nice place to visit

The bridge itself isn't the most amazing bridge you will ever see, but it's definitely worth a visit. Mostly because of the Amstel river.

I got married at the cityhall next to this bridge and one of our best wedding foto's is on this bridge. It is one of the oldest bridges here and a monument of Amsterdam

Pretty at night during the Amsterdam light festival

The Skinny bridge or “Magre Bruge” is an old bridge in Amsterdam. The bridge got its name, because in the old times, the working class people had to walk across the bridge to get to their job. Due to very heavy congestions, people had to walk almost side by side to be able to cross the narrow bridge. Legends say that if you kiss your loved one on the bridge, it will last forever.

Beautiful to see at night. Such a perfect atmosphere.

Kiss under this beautiful bridge for your love to last forever. Haha how romantic. Looks gorgeous while cruising on Amstel

Visited it twice, second time because it was the location for the Mai 5 Liberation Day concert, attended by the King and Queen.

Beautiful bridge at night! I definitely recommend going there around sunset, colours are beautiful! Its really special, not big but perfectly built. 100% recommend passing there if you can.

It’s amazing. I walk 20min to get here from my hostel and it totally worth it. (The light is stronger than the picture)

One of the iconic spots in Amsterdam. I love the story behind it. Beautiful location for the photos.

One of the most popular bridges in Amsterdam. A good spot to take beautiful photos, in spring with tulips around is really cheerful 🥰

Nothing special. Maybe movie making history on This brigde is something that could be valuable

Nice views, funny story about it in earlier times... Oh, don't forget to kiss your love under it to stay together forever ;)))

Although the lights look good I thought the bridges were the most beautiful during the day!

(Translated by Google) The central part of the Magere Brug is a base bridge made of whitewashed wood. The current bridge was built in 1934. The first bridge was built on this site in 1691 as Kerkstraatbrug and had 13 arches. Because this bridge was so narrow, locals called it Magere Brug, which literally means "skinny bridge". In 1871 the bridge deteriorated greatly, and it was demolished and replaced by a wooden bridge with nine arches. Half a century later, this bridge also needed replacement. Architect Pete Cramer has made several designs for a steel and stone bridge, but the city decided to replace it with a new bridge that looks like the previous bridge, but only slightly larger. In 1934, this bridge was demolished and replaced by a redesign by the Kramer House. The last major renovation was in 1969. Until 1994, the bridge was opened manually, but is now operated automatically. The bridge has been restricted to pedestrians and cyclists in use since 2003. The central part is opened several times a day to allow river traffic to pass. The sightseeing tourist boats are low enough to pass under a bridge when closed. The bridge is decorated with 1,200 light bulbs that are turned on in the evening. A story told to tourists about the origins of the 1691 version of the bridge is that it was built by two sisters who lived on either side of the Amstel River who wanted to be able to visit each other every day. In one variation of the story, the sisters could not afford a bridge of a suitable width or height for public use, so a very narrow bridge was built, hence its name. In another variation, the sisters' last name was Mager (skinny), which gave the bridge the name (rather than its narrow). [2] Recent research on the city's archives has revealed that the origin of the name is due to the fact that a massive and massive stone bridge was originally planned during Amsterdam's prosperous golden age, but the economic downturn in 1672 forced the city council to drastically scale back plans and build a foundation. And a simple structure instead. (3) The bridge is considered by locals to be the most romantic of all in Amsterdam. It is a common site for giving shows and lovers' outings. Additionally, legend says that a kiss between lovers while on this bridge (or passing under it by boat) guarantees that they will forever fall in love. The bridge can be seen in a number of films, including the 1971 James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever, in which a boat tour guide narrates the myth of building the bridge. (Original) الجزء المركزي من Magere Brug عبارة عن جسر قاعدي مصنوع من الخشب المطلي باللون الأبيض. تم بناء الجسر الحالي في عام 1934. وقد تم بناء أول جسر في هذا الموقع في عام 1691 باسم Kerkstraatbrug وكان يحتوي على 13 قوسًا. لأن هذا الجسر كان ضيقًا جدًا ، أطلق عليه السكان المحليون اسم Magere Brug ، والذي يعني حرفياً "الجسر النحيف". في عام 1871 تدهورت حالة الجسر كثيرًا ، وتم هدمه واستبداله بجسر خشبي من تسعة أقواس. بعد نصف قرن ، احتاج هذا الجسر أيضًا إلى الاستبدال. المهندس المعماري بيت كرامرصنع العديد من التصميمات لجسر من الصلب والحجر ، لكن المدينة قررت استبداله بجسر جديد يشبه الجسر السابق ، ولكنه أكبر قليلاً فقط. في عام 1934 ، تم هدم هذا الجسر واستبداله بإعادة تصميم قام به بيت كرامر. كان آخر تجديد رئيسي في عام 1969. حتى عام 1994 ، تم فتح الجسر يدويًا ، ولكن يتم تشغيله الآن تلقائيًا. اقتصر استخدام الجسر على المشاة وراكبي الدراجات منذ عام 2003. يتم فتح الجزء المركزي عدة مرات يوميًا للسماح بمرور حركة المرور النهرية. القوارب السياحية لمشاهدة معالم المدينة منخفضة بما يكفي لتمريرها تحت الجسر عند إغلاقها. تم تزيين الجسر بـ 1200 مصباح كهربائي يتم تشغيلها في المساء. قصة رويت للسائحين حول أصول نسخة 1691 من الجسر هي أنه تم بناؤه من قبل شقيقتين تعيشان على جانبي نهر أمستل وأرادتا التمكن من زيارة بعضهما البعض كل يوم. في أحد الأشكال المختلفة للقصة ، لم تكن الأخوات قادرين على تحمل تكلفة جسر بعرض أو ارتفاع مناسبين للاستخدام العام ، لذلك تم بناء جسر ضيق للغاية ، ومن هنا جاء اسمه. في صيغة أخرى ، كان الاسم الأخير للأخوات هو Mager (نحيف) ، والذي أعطى اسمًا للجسر (بدلاً من ضيقه). [2]كشفت الأبحاث الحديثة عن أرشيفات المدينة أن أصل الاسم يرجع إلى حقيقة أنه تم التخطيط في الأصل لجسر حجري ضخم وضخم خلال العصر الذهبي المزدهر لأمستردام ، لكن الانتكاسة الاقتصادية عام 1672 أجبرت مجلس المدينة على تقليص الخطط بشكل كبير ، وبناء قاعدة أساسية. وهيكل بسيط بدلاً من ذلك. [3] يعتبر السكان المحليون الجسر هو الأكثر رومانسية على الإطلاق في أمستردام. إنه موقع مشترك لتقديم العروض ونزهات العشاق. بالإضافة إلى ذلك ، تقول الأسطورة أن القبلة بين العشاق أثناء وجودهم على هذا الجسر (أو المرور تحته بالقارب) تضمن أنهم سيقعون في الحب إلى الأبد. يمكن رؤية الجسر في عدد من الأفلام ، بما في ذلك فيلم جيمس بوند عام 1971 Diamonds Are Forever ، حيث يروي مرشد سياحي بالقارب أسطورة بناء الجسر

(Translated by Google) A long wooden bridge with an unobstructed view over the Amstel water, and fairly wide, so you always have room to keep looking. The construction is old - it's a balance or bascule bridge, with its weights hanging from arms in the air. The current Skinny Bridge was still made in 1934, although it is older designs. It was then adapted and renovated a few more times. It is only intended for cyclists and pedestrians. (Original) Een lange houten brug met een vrij uitzicht over het Amstel water, en redelijk breed, zodat je altijd plek hebt om te blijven kijken.

Daarna is hij nog enkele keren aangepast en gerenoveerd. Hij is uitsluitend bedoeld voor fietsers en voetgangers.
