Brooklyn Bridge by Helicopter
Opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time and remains one of New York's most photographed structures, with its two Gothic stone towers and web of steel cables spanning the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Seeing it by helicopter
Flying the East River route lines the bridge up end to end below you, with both stone towers and the full cable span visible in one continuous shot -- a layout that's genuinely difficult to take in from the pedestrian walkway, where you only ever see one section of cable at a time.

Good to know
- •East River routes show this bridge, while Hudson River routes generally don't -- check which river a tour covers if this is a must-see for you.
- •The bridge's two stone towers are the easiest reference point to spot it from altitude, even at a distance.
- •Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn flights often show this bridge alongside the Manhattan Bridge just beyond it, for comparison.
Does every New York helicopter tour fly over the Brooklyn Bridge?
Only tours that cover the East River side of Manhattan do. Routes focused on the Hudson River or New Jersey heliports typically don't reach it, so check the route before booking if seeing the bridge from the air matters to you.
