A local would say...
This fairy-tale bridge allegedly connected two sisters who couldn't bear to be separated by the river.
Cross Amsterdam's most photogenic bridge, a traditional wooden drawbridge that epitomizes the city's romantic canal culture. You'll feel the bridge gently sway beneath your feet as you walk across the Amstel River, with classic Amsterdam views stretching in both directions. The white wooden structure lights up beautifully at night, creating one of the city's most Instagram-worthy moments. Legend says it was built for two wealthy sisters who lived on opposite sides of the river, though the truth is probably more mundane but equally charming.
