The Brooklyn Bridge is the southernmost of four toll-free bridges connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn, opened in 1883 and one of the city's icons. It was the world's first major steel-wire suspension bridge, with neo-Gothic stone towers and a hybrid of horizontal and diagonal cables. You can walk or bike across the elevated promenade, 18 feet above the car lanes, with cyclists on the north side and pedestrians on the south, and the views of the skyline are the reward.
