Brooklyn Bridge
CultureVisit: ~75 min
Suspension bridge over the East River linking Manhattan and Brooklyn, opened in 1883. It was designed by John A. Roebling and completed by his son Washington Roebling, with the decisive help of his wife Emily Warren Roebling. Its stone towers with pointed arches and its steel cables are its trademark. A pedestrian promenade raised above the roadway lets you cross it on foot with views of the Lower Manhattan skyline.
