Brooklyn Bridge

Fly over the Brooklyn Bridge — see the East River span and Lower Manhattan skyline from the air.

Visiting New York City and ready for a view you cannot get from the promenade? Fly over the Brooklyn Bridge and watch the East River span unfold as a single stone-and-steel line between Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.

From the air the 1883 landmark reads as a complete composition: the twin Gothic towers, the web of suspension cables, and the wooden walkway running down the centre. The aerial view frames how the bridge stitches the Financial District to Brooklyn Heights, with the Manhattan Bridge just upstream and New York Harbor opening to the south toward the Statue of Liberty.

Morning light silvering the river, or golden hour on the limestone towers, makes this one of the most photographed aerial scenes in the city. You see traffic as a slow current on the deck and the full geometry of the anchorage that is invisible from the street.

Fly Over The World includes the Brooklyn Bridge on New York helicopter tours departing from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport. The 12–15 minute flight lifts off beside the span; longer 17- and 25-minute routes combine it with the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, and the Hudson River skyline.

Book your New York helicopter tour today and see the Brooklyn Bridge the way the city itself was meant to be seen — from above.
