The Brooklyn Bridge connects Manhattan to Brooklyn, hence the name.
It was completed in 1883 and was once the largest suspension bridge, a truly iconic landmark of its time. Lying over the East River, it was the first road to connect the two boroughs. From above the Brooklyn Bridge, you’ll experience the skyline and river from a bird’s eye view. The skyscrapers begin to look tiny, and everything becomes miniature. From the sky, you’ll be able to truly see how grand the bridge is compared to its surroundings—what a humbling feeling, especially in a large and tall city like New York. The Brooklyn Bridge is a National Historic Landmark and an icon of New York City; it’s a must-see on any tour, whether on the ground or in the sky.
