Discovering Amsterdam's Bridges: A Guide to the City's Iconic Landmarks

Bridges

Every Bridge in Amsterdam

Every bridge in Amsterdam carries a number, assigned by the city as it entered the municipal register. This is the index of the ones documented here so far: 80 of them, browsable by number, by name and by the water they cross.

The gaps in the numbered grid are the bridges still to write. The numbering runs well past 2,000 while the register itself has holes in it, which is why the highest number is not a count of anything. How many bridges Amsterdam actually has is a longer answer.

The numbered series

Amsterdam gives every bridge a number. This is the first hundred, and the gaps are the ones still to write.

Beyond the series

The numbering runs far past the canal ring, which is why the highest number is not a count of anything.

Alphabetical. Bridges the city never named are listed by number above.
