9Walk the Brooklyn Bridge
Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the quintessential New York experiences, and it’s completely free. The bridge offers stunning views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the East River. Start your walk from either the Brooklyn or Manhattan side, and take your time enjoying the skyline, Statue of Liberty in the distance, and the architectural marvel that is the bridge itself. The pedestrian walkway sits above the traffic lanes, making it safe and scenic. It’s particularly magical at sunrise or sunset, when the city is bathed in warm light.
