You're standing at the Python Bridge, in Amsterdam's Eastern Docklands. Officially it's simply called the High Bridge, but take one look at its shape and the nickname makes sense. The bright red bridge winds across the water like a snake sliding forward. Before Python stuck, it had other nicknames too: the Anaconda Bridge, the Salamander, and even the Dinosaur Bridge.
