Brooklyn Bridge

Built-in the late 19th century, Brooklyn Bridge is the first steel-wire suspension bridge in the world and one of New York’s most famous attractions. It spans over the East River and connects Manhattan with Brooklyn. The bridge is 1.8 kilometers long and has a pedestrian walkway that’s a crucial part of every traveler’s itinerary. If you want to walk the bridge, make sure to spare at least an hour, and be equipped with water as there are no restrooms or stalls until you reach the end. It’s particularly beautiful during the sunset, while it also offers splendid views on the Statue Of Liberty and enlightened skyscrapers during the night.

Brooklyn Bridge was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and has many intricate and unique stories about its history. Although bridges are a normal part of our lives today, many of the New York residents doubted their security in the past. That’s why a popular showman P.T. Barnumset sent 21 elephants from his circus to march across the bridge and finally prove to everyone that is safe enough to handle the huge traffic in the city. You can learn this and many other fascinating facts by reading one of the signs scattered throughout the bridge, or by joining a walking tour.
