The Magere Brug built across the Amstel River is one of the most famous bridges in Amsterdam. Until 1994 the bridge was opened and closed by two Bridge operators and this was quite a task.

The Dancing Houses along Damrak is the oldest section of the city of Amsterdam, which are a row of tall, narrow buildings that dates back to the 17th century. Some of these houses tilt really far forward that it looks as if it would collapse anytime. But there was a purpose to this tilt, in earlier days the city used to be prone to flooding and the stairs of these buildings were really steep and narrow. The best way to get things upstairs was from outside by using a cantilevered beam and hook. The houses were tilted forward so that these items do not collide with the building facade on their way up.
