Brooklyn Bridge Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit the Brooklyn Bridge in 2026?

It’s free to walk, cycle, or drive across the Brooklyn Bridge. However, many travelers opt to see it from the water on a cruise—prices start at around US$25. You can also experience both the bridge and Brooklyn on a Brooklyn tour: guided bike rides start around US$60, and food tours cost from around US$70.

Q: Can you tour the Brooklyn Bridge?

Yes, you can tour the bridge, or experience the Brooklyn Bridge on your own. There are numerous itineraries that bring the New York icon to life, from walking and bike tours that cross the bridge to history tours. Helicopter and boat tours offer a different angle on the landmark.

Q: How long does it take to go over the Brooklyn Bridge?

The Brooklyn Bridge spans 1.1 miles (1.8 kilometers), although the pedestrian approaches to the bridge add distance. At a minimum, it takes around 30 minutes to cross the Brooklyn Bridge, especially given that crowded walkways can slow foot traffic. Many pedestrians choose to linger and admire the views.

Q: What is the best time of day to walk the Brooklyn Bridge?

The Brooklyn Bridge is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—there's no bad time to cross it. But to beat the crowd, go early in the morning. For the best views, cross it in the early evening, as the sun is starting to set and the city's lights twinkle.

Q: How do you tour the Brooklyn Bridge?

The Brooklyn Bridge is open to all, and you don't need a ticket or a guide to access it. Whether you approach from Brooklyn or Manhattan, its pedestrian walkways are easily accessible. For an enhanced experience, you can take a guided walking or biking tour of the landmark.

Q: Can you see the Statue of Liberty from the Brooklyn Bridge?

Yes, you can see the Statue of Liberty from the Brooklyn Bridge. However, the bridge is nearly 3 miles (4 kilometers) northwest of the Statue of Liberty, so you'll have to keep your eyes peeled to spot it in the distance. For the best views, visit on a sunny day.

Don’t miss the opportunity

If they are looking for an informative hike across the Brooklyn Bridge, they should reserve a spot. Ron was a great person to lead this excursion. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he will adjust the trip across the bridge to meet your demands. At 72 years old, it was a perfect opportunity for us to learn and explore.

Relaxing evening ride

Very nice experience. We did NOT cross the Brooklyn Bridge (as thought we would) but we got a view of the Brooklyn Bridge as we crossed the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn and turned around and cross Manhattan Bridge back in to Manhattan.

Know before you go

In cooler months, wear an extra layer or two, as it can be colder and windier on the bridge than on street level.
The bridge's pedestrian path is narrow. Be careful not to veer into the adjacent bike lane.
Crossing the bridge on foot takes around 25 minutes, or longer if you pause for photographs.
