The stroll across the 3,455 ft. Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most dramatic walks in New York. Our walk will take us across the oldest and and what was largest steel wired suspension bridges in the U.S, The view of the city and harbor through the filigree of cables is magnificent. It was first bridge that linked Manhattan and Brooklyn. Since its opening, it has become an iconic part of the New York skyline. In 1964 it was designated a National Historic Landmark. From the bridge you will see lower Manhattan, Governor’s Island, The Verrazano Narrows Bridge, the Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges, Roosevelt Island, Staten Island, the 59th St. Bridge and you will have a panoramic view of Brooklyn.
