Completed in 1883 and considered the Eighth Wonder of the World at the time, the Brooklyn Bridge stretches 1,834 meters, connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan. Its deck is suspended 41 meters above the water by thousands of steel cables, and it was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1964. No matter from which angle you view this magnificent bridge, it is a delightful sight.

During a rest stop at the tower on the Brooklyn side, you can enjoy an unparalleled city panorama from a height of 50 meters, taking in the stunning views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Staten Island, and the Brooklyn harbor.

Additionally, the tour includes visits to The Sphere (a sculpture that once stood at the World Trade Center) and notable sites such as the New York Stock Exchange.

This two-hour Brooklyn Bridge walking tour will become an unforgettable memory of your New York trip!
