Guided trips to New York allow you to get to know different districts and neighborhoods of the Big Apple. On this tour we will meet a couple of neighborhoods in the immense Brooklyn district.
The Brooklyn Bridge Tour, Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO, is done on foot with a local guide (who speaks Spanish) for about 3 hours.
The most normal thing is to start crossing the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan to Brooklyn. On the other side of the river the visit continues through the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, then goes to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade viewpoint, from there we move on to the neighborhood known as DUMBO and concludes in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Brooklyn Heights is a residential neighborhood with high purchasing power and features characteristic reddish stone houses. The tree-lined riverside promenade is also one of its biggest claims, hence this part of the visit does something on the Brooklyn Heihghts Promenade. In this viewpoint we can enjoy unbeatable views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan district.
DUMBO, which comes from the English Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass, is a modern neighborhood, but reminiscent of its past. Its cobblestone streets and warehouses converted into alternative shops, cafes and restaurants are characteristic. For a long time this was a port area, but in recent years it has become very fashionable, like almost the entire district, and now it happens to be an area of great predilection for artists. In this part of Brooklyn we can enjoy a great view of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan.
If you're in the Brooklyn district or heard it's the Hyperster neighborhood of the Big Apple, it's a good idea to include this tour on your trip to New York. The Brooklyn Bridge is going to cross it yes or yes, but for a guide to tell you the secrets and history of 2 of its neighborhoods, is an experience that amplifies the visit itself.
