It typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Most visitors take around 60 minutes as a casual stroll with photo stops, while commuters can walk it in about 25 minutes if in a hurry. The length of the bridge itself is approximately 1.1 miles, but the pedestrian entrances are about 1.6 miles apart, so the walking distance may vary depending on the exact starting and ending points. For a relaxed experience with time to enjoy views and take photos, allowing about an hour is recommended. If only walking straight across without stops, it might take closer to 30 minutes. This all depends on crowd levels and walking pace, so planning for extra time is advisable if visiting as a tourist.
