Definitely another great place to take a look at the New York skyline. Whether it be night or day (maybe a good idea to do both) you capture the magic of New York standing on this bridge. Do be aware of the bicycle lane because you will get steam rollered if you do not move out of the way!

If you have a beautiful day, do yourself a favor and walk the Brooklyn Bridge, the vistas are great, now including the Freedom Tower. Its very walkable about 1.5 miles. Be careful of the bikers, and stay on the pedestrian lines and you will be rewarded with a great walk looking at the NEw York skyline and into the steel... More

This highly popular attraction is worth walking over. You get good views over the water, of the next bridge, of a bit of Brooklyn and looking back to the city. It's also interesting to be walking a bit above but alongside the traffic going across the bridge. Be prepared that on the Brooklyn side there's quite a walk before you... More

If you just happened to visit downtown Manhattan, especially if you have just done visiting South Street Seaport and have two hours to spare, go ahead and take a walk along the Brooklyn Bride. Enjoy the great city scape of both Manhattan & Brooklyn and if you happened to walk there during the weekend you may even get to see... More

Walkable distance from nearby town / metro stations. Bridge continues to be attraction, with footpaths. Be careful with cycling track. Roadside vendors on the way, selling souvenirs. These workout to be cheaper than the same ones sold in so called souvenir shops. One can walk upto one end of bridge arch. The metal cables are really broad, than viewed from... More

I have been to NYC many times, but never felt inclined to wonder around the financial district and the Court area. Since Brooklyn is becoming the "new Manhattan" I decided to know the area so I headed south. My trip started in Grand Central Station, passed by Union Square, Village, Soho, Chinatown and, from Canal St., went down to Court... More

Great way to get some exercise and to see some beautiful views of the skyline. We walked over and then took the ferry back. Nice way to spend the day in New York.

Went for an early morning jog across the Brooklyn Bridge on a fresh, crisp and perfectly clear Sunday morning at about 6.30am. Perfect time to run across the Bridge and what great weather I had! They were completing a lot of works on the bridge that impeded the view for a part of the way, but I'm glad I didn't... More
