Question: What's the Best Direction to Walk the Brooklyn Bridge? Manhattan to Brooklyn?
What's the best way to walk the Brooklyn Bridge? From Brooklyn to Manhattan? Or from Manhattan to Brooklyn?
Answer: For the most scenic route, start in Brooklyn and walk to Manhattan. That way, you'll be headed directly toward the famous Manhattan skyline the entire way.

It's fine to walk the other way, too, from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Just remember to take time to look back!

Either way, you can enjoy fabulous views of the Statue of Liberty, New York harbor, the East River, and other NYC bridges.
