Cross the Pythonbrug, the sinuous red bridge arching over the canal in Amsterdam-Oost. Climb its wooden steps, then wander the surrounding streets of individually designed houses.

📖

Full description

The Pythonbrug is a striking red bridge in Amsterdam-Oost, known for its curving form and wooden steps that carry people across the water. Reviewers describe it as a cool-looking structure and mention the varied, individually designed houses on the surrounding streets, which reward a wider walk.

Local wildlife such as duck families add to the appeal, and boats pass beneath it. It is open at all hours and free to visit.

About fifteen minutes is enough to cross, photograph and look around the surrounding architecture.

Reviews

Looks cool. A boat was adjusting the stuck sail with a friend from the bridge. Met a french guy who said the situation was interesting. 5/5 would go again.
