Bridges
Part 2



Amsterdam's beauty is often attributed to its canals, but that's only half the truth. The bridges that span these waterways are what truly bind the city together (literally and figuratively). The municipality of Amsterdam has as more as 2500 bridges ranging from ancient stone structures to modern solutions to crossing the canals.
