Completed in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge is one of New York City's most iconic landmarks, connecting Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn across the East River. Visitors can walk along the elevated pedestrian promenade to take in sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbor, and nearby bridges. Spanning over a mile, this historic engineering marvel is free to visit and accessible year-round.

Quick tip: Walk from Brooklyn to Manhattan during early morning or sunset for the best skyline light and fewer crowds.

Expert notes

  • There aren't many places to rest on the bridge. Plan accordingly with strollers or bikes for little ones who may need to take a break from the hike. Plan your walk for sunrise or sunset; it's spectacular.
