The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most famous and magnificent landmarks in New York City. It spans the East River and connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

| Traffic going to Brooklyn |
The Brooklyn Bridge walk is about 1.3 miles long so use some common sense as you take this memorable stroll.
It has designated pedestrian and bicycle lanes. If you are a pedestrian, STAY IN THE PEDESTRIAN LANE. Most of the bicyclists are not leisurely riding. They are on a mission to get to the other side and if you are in their lane, they will yell and cuss at you. The bicyclists are not nice if you’re in their space.

Since it is a long walk, wear comfortable walking shoes. High heels are always cute but they don’t work on this walk. Small heels get caught in the planks of wood.
Beautiful views are everywhere so DON’T FORGET YOUR CAMERA! Take time to admire the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines, the Statue of Liberty, and New York Harbor. Notice the massive cables that hold this bridge up, look up at the tower to see the American flag blowing in the breeze, be amazed where graffiti artists have tagged the bridge, smile at the love locks along the way, and just be glad that you are walking rather than being in the traffic madness below you.
