Armbrug at Oudezijds Voorburg Wal, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.


Located in one of Amsterdam’s most picturesque spots, Armbrug (Arm bridge) is named after the Oudezijds Armsteeg (Old Side Arm alley). ‘Arm’ in Dutch can mean poor or, well, arm. In this instance it means the latter, as the alley leads to and from the bend in Warmoesstraat. In the past the Armbrug was unofficially referred to as the Provicialenbrug (Provincials bridge), as sketches and paintings of the view from this spot were used to draw provincials to Amsterdam.
