Yes, the Bridge of 15 Bridges’ name is a myth, as you can’t see 15 bridges while standing on the bridge. Even if you look in different directions, the numbers just don’t add up. However, if you book a canal boat cruise, you can see seven bridges lined up along Reguliersgracht.

Like so many Amsterdam bridges, the Bridge of 15 Bridges looks best at night, when lights illuminate the bridge and reflect in the water. Unless your phone or camera has great low-light performance, you may find the blue hour at dusk or dawn a better time for photography.

Yes, you can take photos at the Bridge of 15 Bridges, but you won’t fit 15 bridges into them—or even seven. This is a popular spot in a busy part of town, so if you’re looking to capture lights reflecting in the water, you might want to aim for dawn, not dusk.
