Introduction to Magere Bridge: Magere Brug is one of the existing wooden structure suspension bridges in Amsterdam. Completed in 1671, this bridge is a pedestrian bridge lying over the Amsterdam River. Because this bridge is very long and narrow, it is also called the Skinny Bridge, which means slim lady. It was rebuilt twice in 1871 and 1929. Whenever night falls, the entire bridge will light up, adding an extraordinarily beautiful style to the dark canal.
