Very beautiful and iconic bridge, most of the people on the bridge are kind and respectful of traffic even thought both cyclist and pedestrians essentially sharing one path.Youll at least see 5 people on the bridge taking photos and some who do photo shoots during sunrise. I had waited for an hour before sunrise for a group of 3 people with some studio lights to come during sunrise and block the area I was planning to photograph but I still manage to capture some other amazing photos.

If you are in NY for vacation or for a business trip, and you are looking for an amazing experience you have to go to the Brooklyn bridge!A great way I know to get to the Brooklyn entrance is by taking the A or C train to the High Street-Brooklyn Bridge subway stop. Follow the signs for Cadman Plaza West and Cranberry and Henry Streets. Cross to the park, and take the footpath that is on the far left. The pedestrian stairway will be under the bridge. The bride is 1.5 miles long so prepare yourself to get some exercise, but there will not be a dull moment. The bride is about has a 130 ft elevation so you can see all of Manhattan and a great view of the statue of liberty in the far distance and well as New Jersey.Just make sure you walk along the predestine side of the walk way because cyclists as not very happy when you walk on their side, and they will not slow down for anybody. Every time we travel to New York the Brooklyn Bridge is a most visit because its amazing anytime of the day, its open late, and you will get an amazing work out.If you are taking small children they will probably get very tired because its quite the walk. So make sure you take a stroller or prepare them for the trip before. There are no bathroom on the bride so beware and prepared.

Wow! What an amazing bridge with an incredible design! Ive always wanted to go visit this bridge and it did nothing disappoint. The walk across is about a mile. We took the subway from Manhattan to Brooklyn and walked back across to Manhattan. It was an easy walk and there are plenty of benches across the way to stop and rest if need be. You can also ride you bike across if youd like. There is a lane for walking and a lane for biking. If youre in New York this is a great place to visit. Lots of cool photo taking opportunities as well of the bridge and the NYC skyline.

One of the most iconic bridges in N.Y.C.Next to it you can observe the Manhattan Bridge. Its a must see in the city. Nearby is Chinatown. City Hall is also at walking distance. The twin Towers are nearby. You can definitely spend a whole day in this vicinity. Great eating options.

Walking the Brooklyn bridge is an experience you will not forget. Early morning or at dusk is a great time to walk the bridge. Be mindful of the bicycle lane. Stay in the pedestrian lane. The walking bridge is on top of the traffic lanes and very safe. You will see amazing views of the city from the bridge.

I love new york city. You should definitely come once in a lifetime. I have been here in new york city for more than 10 years and i have a lots of memories specially in this bridge , whenever i meet a new friend i used to take them here for early morning sunrise, they all loved it , I definitely recommend if you wanna see the best sunrise in nyc.

The ongoing pandemic has definitely taken a toll on a lot of businesses and public places since a consumer’s mindset to buy anything outside of essentials or to visit a public place like a park or beach, has crippled down significantly. Now by living with what has become the new normal, it is commendable on how these businesses and public places continue to remain open and cater to the general public by following the safety standards. It is now all the more important that we as customers, support these heroes during these dark hours to mankind.Ticked off one of the milestone places of NY when we finally got here. We parked elsewhere and were on a complete walking tour of the NYC from WTC to Brookfield place, when we decided to walk to the famous Brooklyn bridge. It was a good 15 minutes walk and we followed Google maps for directions and got a chance to try a route that took us to a fleet of stairs on the Brooklyn bridge promenade street.After walking for another 10 minutes, we finally reached the epicenter on time for the sunset. The view was gorgeous to say the least and the bridge was bustling with tourists and fitness freaks who were driving their bikes on the designated bike path. Most of them wore their masks and maintained social distancing but some of them seem like they just woke up from a long winter hibernation and didn’t give a damn about safety.The nightly view of NY’s downtown on the left and midtown on right was a treat to the eyes. If you look keenly, you will even notice the Statue of Liberty as a micro figure behind the downtown buildings.PS (Piece of advice) - Hold your mobile tight if you are enjoying the view by leaning on the bridge as one of my friends once dropped his mobile straight on the road and watched a car drive over it.

Lovely place, sexy view of New York City I love walking on the bridge. Next time I will try my cycling I wish people can keep the bridge and walkway without trash See all my lovely pictures Recommended for purposes and...️️

It’s suspension bridge connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn. It has a great views on all sides. I would suggest you to take a complete walk from one side to the other. Sunsets are so alluring to watch from here. Must visit place in NYC. Just watch for the cyclist when you click pictures bcoz they raid so fast and can even hit you.

Beautiful historial bridge with sidewalks and a nice scenery at every time of the day. In Brooklyn you also have a nice view from some streets and as well a green park to relax and play with kids. There is a kids park and also a beautiful carousel made in glass.

Truly one of the most beautiful places in New York City. We tend to show up at the crack of dawn because it gets really busy! You never know what the morning is going to look like, but rain or shine, this location is flawless fo engagement photos, wedding photos, and elopements. Always make sure to stay on the pedestrian/walking side of the bridge – there are bikes on the other half of the bridge :) See more photos from the Brooklyn Bridge at meganandkenneth.com

Walking from New York city to Brooklyn on the Brooklyn Bridge, its nice and worth it. Then you can rest in the Brooklyn park. Lots of movie shot was taken there too. Summer is mostly crowded. If you go early morning maybe not that much.

Always love Brooklyn Bridge! Anyday or anytime this Bridge is so awesome ... love to walk and take pictures always... not too far to walk and good to exercise.

Beautiful bridge. Morning breeze is perfect. The best time to take the perfect picture is in the morning with a sunny day.

I saw this one in many old Hollywood films which might be the reason for getting excited to see it. Along with the other few bridges of NY city, some bus trips offer crossing this bridge in the evening or at night. We also had a ride in metro rail which goes through this bridge. I think the styles on the pillars are called Gothic. There was a huge sticker of this bridge from Manhattan was there on the body of our carrier, and we saw the exact view once.

Walking through history! This was amazing! And the views? Unbelievable. Dont miss it if you have the chance to go and walk on it.

I did the Brooklyn Bridge tour and it was amazing, I learned a lot from the tour. The bridge itself is probably New Yorks most iconic bridges. Such a nice walk to Brooklyn with many great views and sights alone the way.

Such an icon of NY. The pedestrian and bike lanes are very tight, many cross on to wrong path. Almost dangerous due to the shared space of bikes & pedestrians but still enjoyable to walk across. Can be challenging to get good photos with so many others around.Great views.

ICONIC. A must have picture of the bridge from NY. Stunning views of skyline. Statue of Liberty looks tiny from this bridge center. When looking directions to walk the bridge, the directions shown for the walk way might look odd, as their entry is way far ahead. Follow the directions for the best route.

God is Good All the Time !Kevin our guide tour is the best, hes the right person for your tour.God bless him!

I like long walks around that area so I will enjoy it every time!Wonderful place and an amazing view! It will take some time to cross it but it worth it!In a good weather you can go for a stroll ! If you like photography then You will like it too!have a good day!

It’s suspension bridge connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn. It has a great views on all sides. I would suggest you to take a complete walk from one side to the other. Sunsets are so alluring to watch from here.

The bridge is very nice for strolling around if youre a tourist. It has very deep history.

The best Bridge to walk/bike in the city! The walking/bike path is in the center of the bridge, so you can appreciate and admire the beautiful structure of the bridge, as well as the manhattan city skyline and sunset. I’ve walked on some other bridges off the city and none compare to the Brooklyn Bridge. The bridge is about a 30min walk across. It can get crowded with tourists taking photos

This old architecture is absolutely gorgeous. New York, which is the most vibrant city in America always has stunning views and the landscape is stupendous. Brooklyn bridge ia always in my bucket list of places to visit during my stay in NYC.

The first time I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, I was 2 years old and helped push my brother accross in his carriage.During my college years I would regularly study on the bridge, or take a stroll.As an adult, Ive participated in fundraising walks / bikes / runs on the very same bridge.As a native New Yorker, the Brooklyn Bridge is an iconic part of the Manhattan skyline, rich in history, a cultural landmark, since imitated around the world.If you havent been, you definitely owe it to yourself to give it a go! And while youre at it, visit the South Street Seaport nearby. Another iconic landmark.

An iconic absolute. No point in going just to the Brooklyn Bridge. Do Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge both. Photograph both from the other. Try to get them in a full shot too. Walking on both is tantalizingly exciting. Its a lot like walking through Hollywood history! The perennial rumble of cars going beneath you is very exciting actually. OH and BTW, the cars are going between Brooklyn and Manhattan. A coincidence? Also, if youre lucky, you will have a subway train go by too!

Nice walk/jogging bridge. Beautiful sunrise n sunset view.

Nice sunny day in oct 2018! Miss traveling!! I wanna go back again to this bridge for a wedding shoot!

This is my favorite place in NYC. Had a great time viewing the city and the ocean. It’s awesome during the day and night. I waited for the sunset and was totally worth it!

The most famous bridge.The most commonly used bridge as a film set.

Urban park with great views. Great for picnics, BBQ, exercising, basketball, soccer and playground for kids. Tons of dinning options as well.

Must see place in NYC. A good skyline view of the downtown city. Good outdoor activity to walk across the bridge and is free. Best views are early in the morning during sunrise and in the evening during sunset

Amazing views on this walk, highly recommend it during sunset into night to see it change from light to dark. The sun sets right next to the city so you get a beautiful view of colors next to the sky scrapers.

Great place to see best of both worlds. The difference between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Great place to also take pics of the buildings located in southeast Manhattan. Just be warned, even in the middle of this pandemic there are still big crowds crossing and touristing this place.

Built between 1869-1883. One of the major tourist attractions in NYC. The Brooklyn Bridge, the worlds first major steel-wire suspension bridge, uses a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge design, with both horizontal and diagonal suspender cables. Its stone towers are neo-Gothic, with characteristic pointed arches.

Greatest ever built. It was lovely as always to walk this bridge.

Truly beautiful bridge. It was the longest bridge in the world when it was built, much longer than the existing bridge at the time. Walking on the bridge is a great experience too. The designer, engineer John Roebling, died just before they started construction. His son, Washington, took over, but was crippled by compression sickness while in one of the caissons during pier construction.

First time visitor. Visited on Saturday October 3, 2020. Highly recommend wearing comfortable tennis shoes as its a pretty good walk. I saw some people in heels and they seemed to really regret it! Really cool views. A must see while in NYC. Its free! There were several street vendors on the sides where you could purchase $1 cold bottled water and $5-$10 NY hats and other cheap souvenirs like $1 Keychains & magnets. Stay to the right as the left lane is a bike lane. It was really interesting and worth the walk.

It’s a bridge! The fact that it’s still standing speaks for itself!..lolIconic NYC landmark.

A long walk,wear comfy shoes but the view its priceless.

Great photo spot in New YorkMake sure to walk from Manhattan to the Brooklyn side or vise versa it is an amazing experience and highly recommended for first time tourist

Great way to spend a quiet time and reflect on the beauty of Gods love

One of my favourite places to go for a relaxing walk and to take a couple of pictures. Great views of the city and Dumbo. Really beautiful sunsets during November and December. Dont stand/ walk in the bike lane unless you want to be run over.

Seeing/walking across the BK Bridge in all its glory is a privilege everyone should enjoy... Americans built that bridge .. Built our skyscrapers.. Built Transit tunnels... Built all the infrastructure that made U.S great... What a marvel... We need to get back to that...

I love it because it is so beautiful and stunning views of the cities and I will go again.

The views are amazing. I walked across the bridge in both directions, planning to see the skyline during the day and at night.

Classic NYC view. Just, if you go in late fall or early spring or yes, winter, be aware its exposed.Also be situationally aware, the bicycle and pedestrian paths share the same stretch of pavement. Dont be careless and stray into the bike lane-- if you do and you get hit, its your own fault!

Start your journey on the bridge that connects New York City to downtown Brooklyn and beyond. The most ideal way to see this hybrid stable-cable/suspension bridge is not to drive across. Rather, to understand the bridge’s majesty, you need to stroll across its span. The walk takes an hour to do. As you walk you’ll get a genuine feeling of how this historic bridge has connected downtown Brooklyn to Manhattan Island, helping to create a cohesive NYC!

Very good to walk and can enjoy the scenary

One of the best places to take pix in NYC. Tourists and locals all take a stroll across the bridge and enjoy the view of downtown NYC.

A marvelous site for fans of architecture! A lot of tourists but worth it! Visited before Covid-19!

Its bigger than you think. Worth a visit. I climbed it from Manhattan. Watch out for the page youre going on. Many cyclists in summer. Cool place to take a panorama of the city. You see how the city grows.

Who doesnt love the bridge? There are many reasons but its a beauty, nice architecture, get to see Manhattan from a distance as well as Brooklyn and other hoods, statue of liberty too. Its always crowded during the day, evening is more serene .. people come to seal love too Haha beautiful for wedding photo shoot..its roughly 1.5 miles I will check and edit

One of the most beautiful bridges Ive ever seen

Beautiful view every morning. The nicest way to cross the river. Sometimes it is crowded with people, but if you ride carefully it is ok.

Lovely place to who want to walk and get grate views and clear the mind.... for me it was very good tour,, on the NY side you can seize the opportunity to see the WORLD TRADE CENTER....

Walking across the Bridge is a great outdoor activity to do . Its one of the few activities you can do right now that doesnt require reservations and is free.We had walked across the bridge several years ago and tried it again 2 days ago. Its still crowded though slightly less so; there are less tourists and more New Yorkers.Be sure to walk on the right side of the road. Bicyclists are very aggressive . It can be difficult to stay out of there way. There are some benches on the bridge but they are usually full. Its a good idea to bring some water, especially if its a hot day.

What is there to not love about one of the most iconic places in NYC? The Brooklyn Bridge is an amazing site to see. A beautiful walk across the bridge is something everyone should do.

Very touristic and very crowded, but a great experience nonetheless. You get to see the whole Brooklyn and Manhattan skyline, which on a nice sunny day is glorious. If the visibility is good you also get to see many other landmarks that are usually out of the normal line of sight.Generally speaking I recommend taking the time out to walk the bridge. Also better to end on the Brooklynn side as there is more to do in that specific area now.

Someone told me about this place as a must visit! Indeed it is true , fascinating place with wide pedestrian walking space!

Great architecture and photography opportunities! Can enjoy a nice bike ride on this bridge. Def a must see for first time visitors!

Had a walk across the bridge today, because it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s a beautiful walk, slightly scary when you look down, and hear the cars whizzing past. We had a gorgeous sunny day, and it’s something that shouldn’t be missed. Very crowded, even for a bitter cold January day.

Best place to bike if its empty and only if its empty

Its great to walk in this beautiful bridge. You can totally view the shining city of Brooklyn. Its very pleasing to the eyes on looking those big buildings.

Brilliant! Well worth the visit, just for the views. Can be very crowded so photographs can be difficult to take. Also if your walking watch out for the cyclists! If you’re visiting Brooklyn Bridge, then nearby Manhattan Bridge is worth a visit too, just a good views, but, with far less crowds!

Iconic! Best time to visit is either early morning or late night. Or during the rain. Less people! Stunning photos

Safety measures are in place everywhere. Great way-finding for bike and walk paths. There are pretty 360 views anywhere you look. Perfect place to take a stroll.

I love the Brooklyn Bridge. Its sooo, NYC! GREAT place to sight see and is a staple of NYC. Walking across it is quite wonderful.

One of my favorite places.. always feels good to walk this bridge anytime of the day, any month.. cycling is also a good way to enjoy this place..

Such wonderful Architectural elements and a great place for the pedestrians to walk over the bridge.

Great view from the bridge. Manhattan bridges looks beautiful from the bridge. Great Skyline view. I would say go there an hour before sunset so that you can experience day sunset and night views. There is park I also love the view from the park.

Would recommend getting the subway to Dumbo (York Street Subway) then get some images of Empire State building through the bridge on Washington Street then some icon images of the bridge(s), then just head up Washington St and you have access to the bridge, or there is an indoor food court done in the bay area which serves great food and tops you up before the walk back over the bridge to N.YThe bridge itself is not as long as we thought and we walked over it quite quickly, the walk way is fairly narrow given the volume of people, kinda split 50/50 for walking and biking, but there was hardly any bikes when we went.

Beautiful bridgeMorning or evening is the best timeYou can ride bike or walkHighly recommended

Fantastic engineering work. The bridge is beautiful. The view of Manhattan from the bridge is breathtaking. I recommend walking over the bridge. We visited it in the evening and we saw sunset. Wonderful. Very nice to see city in the lights with the combination of sunset. It is always crowded on the bridge, but the experience is wonderful.

Wonderful view of city skylines...nice walk...very refreshing

On all of my trips to NYC, I only observed the BB from afar. On this last trip, I ventured across and back, and it was beautiful, great views, and lots of history. I wish I could walk it everyday.

Dont have too much to say, the pics say everything! Love it

Must wear comfortable shoes..It is a nice walk to see the sunset..It is worth the for the nice picture..Great memories!!!

Nice spot to chill with your girl.

Great experience walking the Brooklyn bridge from Brooklyn into Manhattan. There are three lanes. Be careful of the bikes coming on the far right lane. Great opportunity for pictures, lots of tourist and people who are selling NYC souvenirs. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes as the floor is wood and it is a long walk. At night the lights from the surrounding buildings are beautiful.

Even more beautiful at night, nice end of the summer breeze.... be careful with bike riders, they can sometimes be inconsiderate, over all a nice walk especially walking from bk to the city.... nothing like those nyc lights

I specifically feel magnetic with this old age bridge connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn. The East river, giant sky rise building, crowded people, bikers everything makes you most charming feel of New York City. Its highly recommend sites for tourist all across the globe.

Spent the beautiful day with my mother sighting the city.. all I can say is beautiful views

So beautiful! Super busy on Labor Day evening, even with covid haha. Definitely an iconic site not to be missed when visiting Brooklyn

Beautiful way to experience New York. Views are lovely. You can walk or cycle across the bridge. Great place to take pictures too. Affordable souvenirs sold along the bridge. Lovely skyline views. 30 minutes walk. Worth the visit!

This is one of the symbols of this city. It was constructed almost 200 years before and still looks amazing. It was filmed many times and even foreign people usually know how it looks like.

What a great experience. It was an experience to be able to walk through. Love everything about this. It is an amazing piece of art. The details on the bridge are amazing. The views are great and should make you feel that you are above everything.

Great walk or bike ride with a phenomenal view of New York city, Brooklyn and Governors Island with a far view of the Statue of liberty. Great choice for a photo shoot with many options for a great shot.

That was really nice experience. I enjoyed there. If you have cycle or bike, you can enjoy more.

My stay was great the suite is amazing the price was very decent for the room amazing customer service and Agnes was Amazing and polite . Thank you. I will be back again for sure.

Been in the city for far too long and it was my first time there. Amazing views!

Beautiful views of the city from the bridge. Top tip. Make sure you go at sunset for some truly special photos.

Nice walk in a beautiful night especially with a love one. If solo its a relax walk and enjoyable.

Finally the bridge is empty I could walk across with little foot traffic. Awesome to walk through now. Youll have an exceptional experience, just please be mindful of others when you go and not remain idle there for too long.

Brooklyn bridge gives mesmerized view of architecture and nice city view

A nice bike ride. This bridge gets crowded so it is advisable to stay in lanes assigned. The view is amazing and the architecture is beautiful.

Awesome views great experience. Kinda sad they removed all the locks cause I wanted my son to see the thousands of locks all o er the bridge. But it was amazing any way you look at

I love architecture, photography, and walking so I decided to walk over Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn. Stay on the pedestrian side or you will get an earful from cyclists. Due to the pandemic there aren’t a lot of tourists out. Those that were, were mostly wearing masks. I was pleasantly surprised to get pictures of the bridge architecture without people in them (thank you COVID). I walked down to Brooklyn Bridge Park for wonderful views of both Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge.There’s a small beach where you can sit and eat your takeaway food or have an ice-cream. Walk over to Jane’s carousel and take a ride (if open). On your way back there are some nice shops and restrooms. Then find your way to the pedestrian walkway over Manhattan Bridge. It isn’t as populated as Brooklyn Bridge, but it’s definitely grungier. You’ll get some great views of Brooklyn Bridge through some cut-outs in the chain link fence. They were doing some fence replacements as I was walking over, which narrows the walkway in certain spans. As you get to the end, you end up in Chinatown. Re-energize with some baked goods! I recommend having the NYC Subway app to assist you with nearby stations and routes. This ended up being about a 4-mile walk.

On a great sunny day, walking across Brooklyn Bridge is such a treat. It’s a long walk around 30-45 mins but flat and easy.The views are amazing one side you see the great Manhattan skyline the other side DUMBO.A lot of people also ride bicycles on the bridge as well.You can find small vendors selling their paintings or key rings along the way.The weather has to be perfect to enjoy this walk else you may come back with mixed feelings.Try to be there around sunset and be rest assured your eyes will love you for the view you show them.
