A must-see for any visitor to the Big Apple, the best way to experience the bridge is to take the 30-plus minute, 3,455-foot expedition and walk it.

A moving piece of artwork called “Reflecting Absence,” two memorial pools stand in the footprint of the towers, surrounding the museum on either side."

"This is a pity because we found many awesome attractions here, such as the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge Park, vibrant flea and food markets, an upscale neighbourhood with gorgeous Christmas decorations, an amusement park by the beach, and arguably the best pizza joint in New York! We visited New York / Brooklyn twice, once during winter in December and another time during spring in April. Therefore, we have created two Brooklyn one-day itineraries, one for winter season and another for non-winter seasons. Both winter and spring have their beauty, but if I had to choose one I would say Brooklyn is more vibrant during spring."
