Crossing Brooklyn, No Wallet Needed

#summerbudgettrip You don’t need to spend a dime to experience one of New York City’s most iconic moments — just walk the Brooklyn Bridge. Spanning the East River, this architectural marvel connects Manhattan and Brooklyn with timeless charm. Walking across takes about 30–40 minutes, depending on your pace (and how often you stop for photos). The view? Unbeatable — skyline silhouettes, the Statue of Liberty in the distance, and a perfect blend of old meets new. Best of all: it’s completely free. Bring a coffee, put on your comfy shoes, and time your visit for golden hour if you can — the sunset glow over the city makes every step feel cinematic. For budget travelers, this is a must. No ticket needed — just curiosity, and maybe a camera.#nyc #travel #brooklynbridge
