The Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug) is Amsterdam's most famous bridge. You may have seen it in the 1971 James Bond film, Diamonds Are Forever. The original bridge was built in 1691 and there is some discussion as to how it got its name, but I do explain how it got its name as I walk across the bridge. We also went under The Skinny Bridge on a canal cruise on the Amstel River. Legend has it that if couples kiss passionately as they cross under the bridge, they will be in love forever.
