Brooklyn is best known for its iconic Brooklyn Bridge, which connects the Brooklyn waterfront to Lower Manhattan. Many of the borough's top museums offer free admission regularly or on select days. For low-cost transportation, New York City's renowned rapid transit subway system connects dozens of neighborhoods to Manhattan and other area destinations. Some attractions are free only on certain days – please check before you go.
