We really enjoyed our walk across Brooklyn Bridge to enjoy the scenery. Watch out for the cyclists though they will usually ring their bell if you get in the way.. There are a few people selling bottled water if you get thirsty and you have some beautiful views of New York. A must do when visiting New York

Great views of lower Manhattan and a great view of the bridge itself.
Watch out for the fast riding bikers on the bike lane.
We walked about half way and turned back, if we had more time i would have walked all the way to Brooklyn and walked it back.
I would think that sunset would be great time to do this, but we only had time to fit it in at 9:00am.

Some may think its just a bridge - but there is something special about taking a stroll over Brooklyn bridge.

Take the subway to brooklyn and then walk back over to Manhattan and take in some great views of the skyline.

There is a designated walkway above the road level for pedestrians and cyclists. On a cold day it can be very cold but when we went in September, it was a lovely clear sunny day and the views were spectacular.

We want back on a night tour too and it was even better!!! I would not miss out on the sights from Brooklyn bridge on a trip to NY

When we asked ourselves what the highlight of our week-long New York visit was, my husband and I both voted for the walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. We went in the morning, around 9am, by taking the A or C blue line subway to the first stop in Brooklyn. From there the path to the foot of the bridge was well marked. It was not crowded, the weather and breeze were pleasant (early AM in July), and the views were remarkable! We offered to take another couple's photo, then they returned the favor for us. Everyone was very friendly and the entire experience was GREAT.
When you exit the bridge in New York you are near South Street Seaport. We had perfect timing to get in line for the 11am opening of the TKTS half-price ticket booth that is there.
I highly recommeded this walk - fun and FREE!
