Take a tour of Skinny Bridge in Amsterdam, Netherlands -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

The most famous bridge in Amsterdam is the Magere Brug, in English, the Skinny Bridge.

The popular legend is that the bridge was built by the two Magrere sisters.

The story says they lived on opposite sides of the river and wanted to visit more often.

The truth is that the original bridge, from 1691, was simply very narrow.

The current bridge was built in 1934 and is amply wide for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Many people visiting Amsterdam make it a point to come and cross the unique Skinny Bridge.
