People prefer walking or biking across the Brooklyn Bridge rather than driving. Walkers and bikers use the same walkway in the center of the bridge. The bridge is usually full of activity, ranging from Brooklyn Heights yuppies going to or from work on Wall Street, to runners and joggers, to out-of-towners coming to the famous bridge for the view. Looking north from the bridge you can see midtown Manhattan in the distance, as well as the Empire State building . You will also be able see the Statue of Liberty and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
Plaques on the far corners of these planks, however, offer an interesting twist: as you walk toward Brooklyn , you can read a short history of Brooklyn before you actually enter the borough. These plaques also point out the sights in Brooklyn seen from the bridge.
A good place to take nice photos is from Brooklyn Bridge. Whilst walking over the bridge, you get great views of the Manhattan Skyline, and also the lower Manhattan Skyline. Take the Subway to to Brooklyn Bridge, and then from the Eastern Side of the City Hall is where the walkway starts, the views are great. Then if you are walking over the bridge to booklyn, you will get to a part where there is a split in the road, go left and downstairs, you will cross under a bridge. Cross the intersection and walk in the direction of the water, you will reach a walkway where you can also take nice pictures of the skyline. Many people in the streets walking to their work, to go shopping, to go to show... They walk a lot, so they can enjoy the great architecture of this city.
