(See the 9:30-minute mark of the video below for an example.) Follow these tips to prepare for your visit to the Brooklyn Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch where you\u2019re going<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The middle of the bridge is not just for pedestrians. There is a separate bike lane as well so make sure to walk in the correct space. Crowding the bike lane makes it harder for riders to get across and increases your chances of being hit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aim for an early morning or early evening walk in the summer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The bridge is hot and very sunny so crossing during peak sunlight hours can often be uncomfortable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In winter, visit mid-afternoon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is when the day is warmest. Expect a good amount of wind and dress for the weather!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stand to the side to take photos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially when the bridge is crowded. Stopping in the middle is a big no-no and makes it more annoying and difficult for those around you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take your time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I find that it usually takes about a half hour to walk across the bridge, depending on the crowd level, of course. But I always recommend leaving yourself extra time to take photos and actually enjoy the view and a true local New York experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do after your walk across the Brooklyn Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"822\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/manhattan-bridge-403120_1920-1024x822.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/manhattan-bridge-403120_1920-1024x822.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/manhattan-bridge-403120_1920-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/manhattan-bridge-403120_1920-768x617.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/manhattan-bridge-403120_1920-1536x1234.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/manhattan-bridge-403120_1920-500x402.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/manhattan-bridge-403120_1920-160x129.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/manhattan-bridge-403120_1920-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/manhattan-bridge-403120_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brooklyn Bridge leads you to some great sights in both Manhattan and Brooklyn.

You can easily get to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/blog\/top-things-to-do-in-dumbo-and-brooklyn-bridge-park\/\">DUMBO<\/a> and spend the afternoon exploring this industrial community turned tech startup hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, walk along Brooklyn Bridge Park into Brooklyn Heights and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, for even more unbeatable views of Manhattan. For those history and political buffs out there, head to Borough Hall \u2014 the City Hall building for the once independent City of Brooklyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<section class=\"bannerPromo blog-ab-hide-in-variant-1 blog-ab-show-in-variant-2\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t<!-- section heading  -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<!-- section banners -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bannerPromo__wrapper gallery__main\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bannerPromo__items \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bannerPromo__card theme-default \">\n\t\t<div class=\"bannerPromo__cover\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bigCircle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/07\/Manhattan-500x500.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/07\/Manhattan-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/07\/Manhattan-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/07\/Manhattan-250x250.jpeg 250w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/07\/Manhattan-125x125.jpeg 125w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/07\/Manhattan-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/07\/Manhattan-96x96.jpeg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" alt=\"Manhattan\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"smallCircle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/Unisphere-in-NYC-250x250.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/Unisphere-in-NYC-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/Unisphere-in-NYC-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/Unisphere-in-NYC-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/Unisphere-in-NYC-125x125.png 125w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/Unisphere-in-NYC-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/Unisphere-in-NYC-96x96.png 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" alt=\"Unisphere in NYC\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"bannerPromo__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"bannerPromo__caption\">See the real NYC in Brooklyn and beyond<\/span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"bannerPromo__title\">Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Contrasts, Color and Character<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a class=\"bannerPromo__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/new-york-tours\/nyc-bus-tour-brooklyn-bronx-queens\/\" target=\"\">\n\t\t\t\tLearn More\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The best bridge in the world<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exp1.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/07\/brooklyn-bridge-1594230_1920-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan\" class=\"wp-image-30172\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you weren\u2019t already planning on it, I hope this blog makes you reconsider walking the Brooklyn Bridge.
