Magere Brug or 'Skinny Bridge', known for being narrow, is one of the most photographed bridges in Amsterdam. Legend has it that the bridge was built by two sisters who lived on each side of the Amstel River so they could visit each other easily. It is also believed that couples who kiss on the Magere Brug remain together forever. Visit the Magere Brug in the early morning or evening to catch the bridge gleam in the golden light or visit it at night as 1200 fairy lights illuminate it at night.
