    Breathtaking

    I highly recommend walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, especially starting on the Brooklyn side walking towards Manhattan. Absolutely breathtaking views! Well worth the walk and one of my favourite things about NYC.

    Walking over the bridge

    Walking over the Brooklyn bridge was a unique experience. The view was great. I wish we'd had more time to explore Brooklyn

    Wonderful introduction to New York City

    We took the MTA subway to near the Brooklyn pedestrian entrance. We walked across to Manhattan always mindful of the bicycle traffic. The bridge is wonderful to look at, and it has great views of Manhattan. What a nice introduction to New York!

    First walk across Brooklyn Bridge in the wind and rain. Even so it was very busy. However, this did not stop us enjoying the experience and we had a drink and snack in Front Street Pizza in Brooklyn. Unfortunately due to the weather we did...More

    Wow. There are no words to describe the incredible views off this bridge. Sunset added an extra bonus.

    Great views of lower Manhattan

    Did my daily run to Brooklyn and back and it was refreshing with lovely views. There are lots of pedestrians walking and I ran to the right on the bike path, bike riders were courteous and I had little trouble navigating through all the people....More

    Financial District
    At the southernmost tip of Manhattan, the Financial
    District is where New York City began as a center of
    commerce. Today, the historic streets and beautiful
    setting are complemented by museums, countless
    skyscrapers, and the heart of the Financial District,
    home to Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange.
    Catch the Staten Island Ferry for an unbeatable view
    of the skyline and Statue of Liberty, or sail to Ellis

    We are two people in our mid 70's and did this walk with ease. We did this on a weekend and it was busy, but whenever it got busy we just stopped and took in the views.
