Buidings along the Amstel Canal. In the distance is the Blauwbrug

The Blauwbrug (English: Blue bridge) is a historic bridge in Amsterdam, over the river Amstel. It connects the Rembrandtplein area with the Waterlooplein area, and lies south to the Stopera.
The bridge owes its name to a wooden "blue bridge" that was there from around 1600 but no longer exists and which was painted the characteristic blue of the Dutch flag. It kept the name after 1883 when it was replaced by the spans of a new bridge which is inspired by the architecture of several of the bridges over the Seine in Paris such as Pont Alexandre III.
