The Magere Brug
The Magere Brug ("Skinny Bridge") is a bridge over the river Amstel in the city centre of Amsterdam. It connects the banks of the river at Kerkstraat street, between Keizersgracht canal and Prinsengracht canal.
The Magere Brug is a bascule bridge made of white painted wood. It was built in 1670 and broadened in 1871. The last major renovation was done in 1969. Since 2003, only pedestrians and cyclists are allowed to use the bridge. Many times a day it is opened in order to let ships pass; the boats used for sightseeing tours are low enough to pass underneath the bridge when closed. The bridge is decorated with 1200 light bulbs that are turned on in the evening.

- Score:
- great location, helpful staff (depending on who was on duty), great breakfast, a good value for amsterdam
- a bit loud at night. we arrived in amsterdam at 8.00 am and they made no special effort to allow us to check in even a bit early. we left our bags there and walked around until 3.00.
