New York's most famous bridge crosses the East River from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Taking a walk across this historic suspension bridge is a must-do NYC activity, with fabulous views on every side.
Built in the 1870s and '80s, the Brooklyn Bridge was one of the first suspension bridges to be constructed in the USA. At the time, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. The soaring Gothic towers at either end are particularly dramatic when floodlit at night, their tall elongated arches an iconic New York sight.
Check out the observation points under the support towers, with panoramic illustrations depicting the history of New York's waterfront, then stay on to watch as the city lights of Manhattan and Brooklyn switch on at dusk.

This was even bretter than the helicopter ride we did earlier in the day because it was spread over 3hours (7-10pm). The meal on board was ok but stanadrad for this type of cruise. The feature of the cruise was the spectacular nigfht views of Manhattan, New Jersey and Brooklyn Bridge
The staff on board were helpful and the service was excellent. The band was ordinary but after a few drinks most got up to dance and sing. We consider the experience well worth the cost and would recommend when in NYC to do this cruise. The ship was clean and roomy and a most memorable trip.
The best tour ever, Marc was great. He took us to Grand central, Central park, Brooklyn bridge and…We basically saw everything we wanted to see within two hours and had great photos delivered the next day to our hotel. So, I really recommend it!!!!!

I can't highly recommend this enough!!!!
Our tour guide was informative and helpful and if it wasn't for him showing us the subway and encouraging our confidence in it we may have been using taxis all of the holiday! :P we went to Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central and Times Square and along the way he was friendly and helpful and had a great passion for New York!
We also went to Central Park and had some lovely photos taken by iconic locations :)
Book this now! you won't regret it!
