Brooklyn Tours

Once upon a time, Brooklyn Tours might not have been that popular. But, the new and improved borough offers quite a lot of cultural value for the casual tourist. It’s now not only a safe place to visit, it's also quite swanky. Already home to Coney Island and the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, Brooklyn also plays host to a number of other cultural events. If you arrive in the summer, check out the Coney Island Mermaid Parade or the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival. Or, if you find yourself in there during Labor Day, take part in the Carnival. The truth is that there are always things to do regardless of the season. This borough has been drawing young professionals and artists from across the state and country, creating a micro-melting pot of talented fun-lovers. So, grab a piece of pizza and stroll down the street in search of fun and games. It's what to do in Brooklyn!

Our tips for Brooklyn

  • Save n Splurge. Everyone knows about the high cost of living in New York. Eating at restaurants for both lunch and dinner could drain your wallet rather quickly. Save money by packing a lunch and water bottle. Then, use the money you saved on lunch to buy dinner.
  • B&B Rental Factory. Consider an online private rental when searching for accommodations. You might save enough dough to buy a couple of extra meals.
  • See no evil, hear no evil. Brooklyn possesses no immunity against the noise caused by the New York traffic and nightlife. Consider packing both an eye-mask and ear-plugs.

Best time to visit
The weather in Brooklyn fluctuates. But, for warm, clear days and cool nights during your Brooklyn sightseeing vacation, May and October are your best bets. During the steamy summer months, the borough plays host to an eclectic mix of concerts, film festivals, and other cultural events. The holiday lights shine brightly in during winter; and, you should plan for cold temperatures.
Getting there
  • Can a subway system also be a Brooklyn attraction? In a sense, yes! As a world-famous, transportation icon, the New York subway represents a must-see stop on Brooklyn tours. Plus, the New York subway gets you from Point A to Point B rather efficiently.
  • For stress-free travel, purchase a 7-day or 30-day MetroCard. For just over $30, you get unlimited rides on the subway and buses for 7-days.
  • Traffic in New York can be almost incomprehensible at times. If you are unfamiliar with the area and lack the patience to deal with the incessantly honking, you should avoid driving. Just take the subway and buses and save yourself the stress.
