The Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug)
This is a charming wooden drawbridge that is one of the most photographed spots in the city. Visit in the evening when it’s illuminated for a magical shot.
Jordaan District
This is known for its narrow streets, quaint houses, and picturesque canals. For unique photos, capture the charm of the neighborhood early in the morning or late at night when the tungsten street lamps create an eerie yet cozy atmosphere.
The Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes)
This is a small neighborhood in old Amsterdam, with small shops and stunning canal views. Be aware that these shops are really overpriced though, so focus on the photography and do your food shopping in less touristy areas.
A’DAM Lookout
This viewing platform with panoramic views of Amsterdam. Here you can capture the skyline and canals from above, especially recommended at sunset.
NDSM Wharf
This is an area reminiscent of bygone wharf and industrial shipping times. Now it is a creative hub with unique street art and industrial vibes. Take a moment and look at the colorful murals and sculptures provide a great contrast to the traditional architecture of the city.
