Otherwise, I also recommend waking up earlier and be there for the sunrise – it could definitely be a memorable experience and you can take photos without the crowds.īest spots in Dumbo & Brooklyn Bridge Parkĭumbo (short for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) encompasses two sections: one located between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, which connect Brooklyn to Manhattan across the East River, and another that continues east from the Manhattan Bridge to the Vinegar Hill area. The picture featured on this post was taken at 9:30 am – busy time – but the photographer saw an opportunity and she was fast. Photo tip: Brooklyn Bridge is usually always busy! It is not easy to snap a picture without the crowds, but my advice is: be patient! Try different angles and be fast. When you get to the other side, you will see an exit for pedestrians. Depending on how many times you stop, it will take you around 30 minutes to cross the entire bridge. When crossing the bridge, be sure to look at all sides: you will catch sight of the East River, the Brooklyn, Manhattan Bridge, One World Trade Center, the Empire State, and even the Statue of Liberty. If you want to cross using a bike, there are CitiBike stations on the bridge, and also on the other side. The most important tip: always keep right – the left lane is reserved for cyclists. Take advantage of this, because the prices are good, from $ 1 to $ 2. Walking on the bridge, you will find many street vendors of souvenirs such as key chains and magnets.

Before you begin your walk, get a bottle of water and take time to observe the area, full of beautiful buildings. Now, let’s talk about crossing the bridge! To get access to the bridge from Manhattan, use 4, 5, 6, J, or Z subway lines and get off at Brooklyn Bridge City Hall station. Today, on average, 120,000 vehicles cross Brooklyn Bridge every day, and 4,000 pedestrians and 2,600 cyclists. For 20 years after the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge, there was a toll for pedestrians and for cars. It was open to the public in 1883 – 13 years after the construction had started. So, here are my ultimate guide about Brooklyn Bridge and things to do in the area! Crossing the bridgeīrooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges around the world – and the first built to connect Manhattan to Brooklyn, almost 1.24 miles long. I’ve crossed the bridge several times and I love exploring the Brooklyn side.
After living here for more than 7 years, I never get tired of these spots and I think they are among the most beautiful places in the city. We all know that Brooklyn Bridge is a classic in NYC – and there is so much to see on the other side of the bridge! Brooklyn Bridge Park and Dumbo are charming areas, with stunning views.
