So what can you say about the Brooklyn Bridge! It’s such a historic place and the sites were amazing. This was the first time I actually took the time to talk across. A totally recommend if you have the time and the sunscreen. Such a great day and enjoyed it immensely.

A very touristy yet cool destination. From here you can see Pier 17 which is also another interesting spot to visit. They have a 360 degree photo booth everywhere, if you go with family or friends dont miss it.

Undoubtedly worth the walk. Very busy but many great sports for a photo nonetheless. Views are awesome, naturally, and great spots in the middle of the bridge for food and accessories.

Time to walk across the bridge: 30m-1h
Recommended days: Monday-Thursday, Saturday

Beautiful bridge with amazing views of Manhattan. During the sundown is the best time to get those “golden hour” shots. If your looking to buy any souvenirs, wait until you get to the Brooklyn side of the bridge, as the prices are cheaper for key chains and hats. You can also see the Statue Of Liberty.

very beautiful and powerful building. four lanes in each direction two levels. after replacing the payment with an automatic one, it became much more convenient to drive. the view from the bridge is mesmerizing. the passage under it of huge sea monsters is impressive still didn’t constantly repair it, it would be generally good. and so very good work of engineers and builders

This is a must-see attraction in New York! This bridge is an iconic piece of architecture that lets you go from Manhattan to Brooklyn and vice-versa. You can cross it walking to have a great view of the bridge. But you can also take a ferry on Pier 11 to take you to DUMBO Park. The views you have from the ferry are phenomenal. Once you are in Brooklyn, you can enjoy the amazing views of East Manhattan, admire Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge, and enjoy the number of great restaurants in the area.

Definitely worth a visit, especially at sunset. Here I have taken the most beautiful pictures from all over NYC. Finally, the road for cyclists is separated from the pedestrians, and has its own separate line on the side. Unfortunately, you cannot enjoy the view of the city from the bicycle line because it is located below the level of the bridge and secured by a high wall. My advice: around 5:30 p.m. cross the bridge towards Brooklyn with a city bike, take wonderful pictures of the Manhattan Bridge from Washington Street and the old Pier 1, and return around 7 p.m. via the Brooklyn Bridge on the sidewalk towards Manhattan. - you definitely have the most beautiful view of the city. - valid for the period Mai - September.

Beautiful bridge in New York! I was next to it on a pier with a nice park you can walk through and take pictures. Another small little park like area as well by the ice cream shop. Good place to check out if you're in New York and want something low key. Accessible by ferry. Family friendly.
