Yeah, I\u2019m talking about the one where you tried to take that selfie and then a bike nearly ran into you.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know it isn\u2019t the skinniest bridge in the city? Sure, it was at one time. But a little while ago the traffic over the Amstel river became too much and so they replaced it with something wider. We guess the city\u2019s inhabitants just never really noticed. Hey, but then it was fairly recent by Dutch standard. The bridge was rebuilt in 1871.<\/p>\n<p>I guess it\u2019s a lot like how the bridge they call the \u2018blue bridge\u2019 isn\u2019t actually blue.<\/p>\n<p>The actual skinniest bridge is called the Drieharingenbrug or Three Eels Bridge. Perhaps they call it that because three eels couldn\u2019t cross it at the same time? Whatever the case, if you want to talk about skinny bridges, then talk about this one! It\u2019s little more than a raise-able plank with guardrails!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also an incredibly beautiful. In many ways we prefer it to the one in the guide books. Want to go check it out? Here\u2019s the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Drieharingenbrug\/@52.3869264,4.8850778,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x47c609cd1792b707:0xdbc52f5ee641cc77!8m2!3d52.3869231!4d4.8872665\"> Google Map link<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2>Amsterdam has far more bridges than Venice<\/h2>\n<p>They call Amsterdam the Venice of the North. In our opinion, that\u2019s a disservice to Amsterdam. For one thing, as most seven-year-olds with a map can figure out, Amsterdam isn\u2019t actually in the North. For another, Amsterdam has far more bridges than Venice does.<\/p>\n<p>It does? Yes, it does! Venice boasts about 400. Amsterdam, in the meantime, has a whopping 1824! We know this because each bridge is numbered. You can go find out for yourself if you like. The numbers are written in the bridge\u2019s base.<\/p>\n<p>Whether Amsterdam has the most bridges in the world is a topic of some debate. Hamburg has a lot of bridges as well. How many there are isn\u2019t exactly clear, though. Different sites say different things, though all maintain it\u2019s over 2000. Maybe they should take up the practice of numbering their bridges as well. Anyway, however many they have, maybe we should start calling them the Venice of the North!<\/p>\n<p>Or perhaps it\u2019s time to start calling Venice the Amsterdam (or, fine, Hamburg) of the South.<\/p>\n<h2>Big boats can still move through Amsterdam\u2019s small canals<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve taken a tour on the Dutch canals then you\u2019ve probably noticed how darned low those bridges are. That\u2019s why the Dutch tour boats are so darned low lying. Of course, that does bring with it a few problems. One of them is that container ships (not to mention the sailing variety) struggle to move through the city.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Dutch have a solution to that (Hurrah for the Dutch!). The municipality has created two routes through the city. Of course, as opening the bridges when there is a lot of traffic can cause all sorts of congestion, these routes are mainly used at night.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019ve been out on a bender and seen lots of ship\u2019s masts suddenly float by in the middle of the night, you\u2019ll be happy to know it wasn\u2019t the mushrooms.<\/p>\n<h2>The oldest bridge in the city used to be a lot more<\/h2>\n<p>The oldest bridge in the city is the Torensluis or Tower Lock and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Torensluis,+Amsterdam,+Netherlands\/@52.3745234,4.8872154,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x47c609c6821b1871:0x14e1aa34e62b5bc6!8m2!3d52.3745201!4d4.8894041\"> is located on the Singel<\/a>. The \u2018lock\u2019 in there refers to a \u2018water lock\u2019 but could have just as easily meant \u2018mechanical lock\u2019, as in the past it was actually a prison as well!<\/p>\n<p>If you lean over the side, you\u2019ll still see the entrances. These lead to a bunch of cells where prisoners were kept. These were about the worst prison cells the city had to offer, as every high tide they would flood! Could you imagine what that would be like in the middle of winter?<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018tower\u2019 part of the name referred to the watch tower which was originally there to keep an eye out for attackers and pirates (arrrrrr, me matey!). That\u2019s also why the bridge is so wide. Otherwise the tower would have blocked the way.<\/p>\n<h2>There is a bridge that got into a fight with a building (and they both won)<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>Despite what you may think, Amsterdam has not stopped building bridges. What has changed a bit, of course, is how they built them. The best example of that is the Jan Schaeferbrug (No that doesn\u2019t translate into something cool. Jan Schaefer is the name of a Dutch politician). This bridge might not be typically 17th century Amsterdam, but it\u2019s still a pretty cool bridge. Why? Because it goes through a building, that\u2019s why!<\/p>\n<p>The building in question is the Pakhuis de Zwijger. Though it wasn\u2019t as old as some of the structures in Amsterdam, it is considered unique through its embrasure of the building style of the 1930s. That\u2019s why there was an uproar when they wanted to knock it down to make way for the bridge. This pushed the architect to come up with a new solution. Now, the bridge goes through the building instead.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, the building was remodeled and now, instead of being used as a warehouse, has become a cultural center instead. So, you could say, they both won! I guess you could say that\u2019s the polder model in action.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com.mx\/maps\/place\/Amsterdam,+Jan+Schaeferbrug\/@52.3765545,4.9174446,16z\/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x47c609a8092a410f:0xe7aaecb66410f0ab!8m2!3d52.3765545!4d4.921822\">You can find the bridge here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Check out our tours<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4638-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/blueingreen.amsterdam\/tours\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGo to our Tours<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cropped-Site-Logo-1-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cropped-Site-Logo-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cropped-Site-Logo-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/bookatour.amsterdam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cropped-Site-Logo-1.png 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Want more tips?
