The illuminated Magere Brug in particular is a feast for the eyes. Through the Personal Audio System on board, you listen to the audio story in one of 20 available languages, from the origins of the canals to modern-day Amsterdam. As an Amsterdam family business, we show you the city at its most beautiful moment.
