Is there a city in the world with more bridges than Amsterdam, the Netherlands?
I know there are cities with bigger bridges and with more famous bridges.
But are there cities with more?
According to this site Amsterdam has 1,753 bridges with a number and more without.
HOW MANY BRIDGES DOES AMSTERDAM HAVE?
1,753 — many of which can open to let ships pass. ‘The bridge was open’ is a popular excuse for arriving late at school or work (regardless of whether your route actually includes a bridge…). 80 of these bridges are within the famous ‘grachtengordel’ (‘belt of canals). There are an additional 2250+ so-called ‘non-numbered’ bridges — most of them far less significant than the numbered ones.
This site has links to (almost all) bridges in Amsterdam. I have not checked out all, but the numbered bridges up to #2484 either indicate they are over water by the name of the location and/or by the picture. Not all with proper roads but all possible to walk or drive over.
Besides those 2484 there are 'other bridges' which are either not over water, not having roads on them or may not fit my rules for other reasons.
Although some still fit and are not numbered for reasons I do not know.
As a bridge I count where a road crosses over water, not where a road crosses over an other road or railway nor where a railway crosses over anything.
If there is a city with more bridges I would be interested in visiting it. And if there is no city with more bridges, I would like to know the ones with almost as many bridges.
