Visit Brooklyn Bridge

browse (1 / 4)

Brooklyn Bridge: a bridge of so many kinds. This marvelous bridge, is foremost, a fascinating visit, due to its unique beauty. This double-suspension bridge has tiers that tower above the East River that juts out like beautiful sculptures on the unique New York horizon. It is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the world, and undoubtedly one of the most romantic places on the globe. At the time of its construction, the Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world. Imagine: the sun melting into the horizon while before you, the staggering skyline of New York blooms, reaching into the sky. The Brooklyn Bride connects the boroughs of Manhattan and its name's-sake, Brooklyn, and therefore is ideally positioned between two jostling giants of the New York skyline.

The best thing about the Brooklyn Bridge is that it has been designed with pedestrians in mind. With traffic zooming about either side, the middle lane is open for bicycles and pedestrians, even joggers. The middle lane for pedestrians has not only been of aesthetic value, providing tourists and New Yorkers alike with fascinating views of the city, but also has operated as an escape route for New Yorkers in times of evacuation and crisis. In 2001 after the September 11 attacks, the subways were temporarily suspended due to fears of further attacks. The Brooklyn Bridge provided many New Yorkers with their only means of connecting Manhattan with Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Bridge is also, therefore, a symbol of New York’s resilience in the face of danger and a beacon of New York pride.

The Brooklyn Bridge has also been featured in many of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters, including Godzilla, Kate and Leopold, the Fantastic Four, Superman, where Superman and Lois Lane fly a magical flight parallel to the bridge, Superman Returns, Night at the Museum, and many more. Visit the Brooklyn Bridge to experience the magic of one of New York’s skyline attractions. Fall in love, take a scenic walk across the bridge, enjoying the views of Manhattan and Brooklyn, or simply amble across the bridge, observing the dense traffic and reminiscing about the times when you remember seeing the bridge in your favorite movies, taking in the reality of actually being present on one of the world-famous attractions of New York. Visit the bridge that has provided inspiration for some of New York’s original comics such as batman and Spiderman, among others.
