Suggestions for bridges near New York

Dirty B. • August 10, 2014Really cool bridge with great walking path

Patrick S. • July 7, 2019Brooklyn Bridge gets busy, so the Manhattan Bridge is a good alternative. Spectacular views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Lady Liberty and Manhattan’ Skyline (do pick the South side of the bridge though).

Eliane v. • April 27, 2013Taking in the city views, approaching Brooklyn, all wrapped in the beautiful pink paint of the Williamsburg Bridge. Best way to get fresh air in the hot summer days.

Ricardo Daniel L. • August 28, 2017Less famous than bow bridge if has some great views as well. Gotta give a chance to every corner at this park.

Caroline • October 8, 2015An absolute must for the ultimate NYC photo!!! Enjoy the view of the street canyons and the famous Manhattanhenge

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍ • March 17, 2021Historic Gothic-detailed one of several beautiful arch bridges in the park, noted for its prominent use of brick in its design. Definitely stop in to admire its beauty and take lots of photos

Michael M. • August 3, 2013If you are into letterboxing this is a place to visit.

KENNECTED • August 11, 2014Great place to relax in the park without having to go to far inside the park. Nice place to sit and enjoy the end of the day with someone special or friends and neighbors.

✨#IamRomdelacrème✨ • April 22, 2012Glenspan Arch constructed in 1865 has a really nice rustic look to it. It's surrounding is very serene complemented by a beautiful stream.

Nabeel • August 14, 2011The arch has no mortar or anything holding it together besides its own weight. Enjoy this engineering feat.

Ting • October 20, 2015Bridge itself is beautiful but not the views.

Andre R. • August 2, 2015Great views of the New York Skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge. The view is even better at night time. I give this park a 9.9 out of 10. It's clean, safe, relaxing and it provides plenty of activities.

Lydia B. • January 26, 2015Don't hesitate to take risk (like stepping above the hole where you can see the car under..) to take the best picture of this amazing bridge.

The Vitamin Shoppe • March 15, 2012Take in the beautiful view from the Brooklyn Bridge and lace up your sneakers for a run or a walk across!

Ben R. • November 16, 2009This is the best East River bridge to bike over! Bike traffic is usually light, and the views are great.

Theresa L. • April 26, 2013Beautiful bridge!! Beautiful view too

Chucktown Creative • October 14, 2013One of the greatest views of the city from this bridge - FREE! Don't miss out on walking the Brooklyn Bridge!

Ashley 🌵 • August 26, 2014For best photo experience: lay sideways on the edge (like pic below). Random strangers will try to nudge you and you may even get a few proposals! Haha... Fabulously beautiful bridge. Don't fall in.

Mechel P. • July 23, 2013Love to walk over the bridge and enjoy the views of NYC
