The Background – Engineered and constructed by John A. Roebling from 1867 to 1869, this suspension bridge has inspired artists from Georgia O'Keefe to Joseph Stella with its beauty. Stroll or bike along this engineering triumph, which spans the East River, and you'll understand the geometric beauty of New York as never before: Angles mirror angles into infinity. And for an escape from geometry, check out the tugboats steaming by below. – – Features – A pedestrian walkway and a well-trafficked bike lane make this bridge exceptionally people-friendly at almost any time…

A great place to take out of towners
by yaelleah
This is really one of the best ways to get a feel for the city. This bridge has been around for more than 100 years and is a one-of-a-kind structure. The bridge in itself is truly a microcosm of the city if you think about it - you get city views, street vendors, a historical perspective and an opportunity to experience the hostility of local pedestrians and bikers.

Wow
by magicloop2009
I ride my bi9ke accross here often. Great sunset's can be seen and syou can also see the Statue Of Liberty in the distance. Cars and trains pass by. It was a blast, especially on a sunny warm day. Walking alittle less than a mile accorss the bridge is great excersize. You can also see the empire state building and city hall, along with downtown Brooklyn. The views of the water waves are amazing. The landscape is of water and city amazing.
- Pros: Views of the city
- Cons: Don't go too late at night

One of the city's-and the country's-greatest treasures
by acb723
Walking to Manhattan on the Brooklyn Bridge on a sunny day is like no other experience. The bridge itself is magnificent, and walking on it allows you to see just how beautiful it is. And of course, the view is absolutely spectacular. Lower Manhattan is just absolutely beautiful, and you even have a good view of the city beyond. End your walk by relaxing on a park bench in the gorgeous City Hall area and you've got yourself a great afternoon!
