Lonely Planet review for Magere Brug

This undeniably picturesque bridge is the site of many a Dutch wedding photo. Dating from the 1670s, the nine-arched structure has been rebuilt several times in both concrete and timber. It’s still operated by hand and remains photogenic even at night, when 1200 tiny lights make the bridge look like a Christmas confection. You can spot it in many films, including the James Bond thriller Diamonds are Forever. Stand in the middle and feel it sway under the passing traffic.
