Detailed itinerary

The Skinny Bridge, known as Magere Brug in Dutch, is an iconic wooden drawbridge located in Amsterdam. Spanning the Amstel River, this picturesque bridge connects the Keizersgracht and the Prinsengracht. Originally built in the late 17th century, it has become a symbol of the city’s charming canals and historic architecture.

The bridge earned its nickname, "Skinny Bridge," due to its narrow design, which was a result of the need to accommodate pedestrians while ensuring boat traffic could pass beneath it. It features a charming white wooden structure with traditional Dutch design elements, making it a popular spot for photographs.

The Magere Brug is especially enchanting when illuminated at night, providing a romantic backdrop for evening strolls. Visitors can enjoy scenic views of the surrounding canals and nearby buildings, making it a must-see attraction for anyone exploring Amsterdam.

The Canal Area of Amsterdam, known as the "Grachtengordel," is a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its intricate network of canals, charming bridges, and historic architecture. Developed in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, this area encompasses three main canals: Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht, which are lined with beautifully preserved 17th-century townhouses.

The canals are not only picturesque but also functional, having been designed for defense, transportation, and water management. Visitors can explore the canals by boat, enjoying guided tours that offer unique perspectives of the city’s landmarks.

In addition to its stunning views, the Canal Area is home to numerous attractions, including vibrant markets, galleries, museums, and cozy cafés. The area is particularly lively in the summer, when locals and tourists alike enjoy leisurely walks along the water or relax at outdoor terraces.
