have a look at its iconic landmarks and the view over NYC, and you’ll understand why it keeps attracting backpackers around the world.

Brooklyn hostels are conveniently located, within easy access to the subway as well as trains to Manhattan. Stay in a fully renovated loft or in an old 19th century warehouse.
The best hostels in Brooklyn will offer free wifi, comfortable and spacious dorms and private rooms as well as cushy common rooms
for relaxing after a day of exploring the city.

Williamsburg is the hipster hub of Brooklyn, the neighbourhood where you will find the best cafes, bars and restaurants literally on your doorstep. Just next to Williamsburg, Bushwick is another great place to stay. This neighbourhood is filled with street art and they claim to have New York’s best pizza.
If you wish to stay somewhere a bit less busy, you can’t go wrong with Brooklyn Heights as you’ll have the lovely Prospects Park just around the corner.

The must-see attraction in Brooklyn is obviously the Brooklyn Bridge. Walk over this iconic landmark and take in the views of New York City.
Another great sightseeing walk can be done on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade which offers views of the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline.

Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge connect the boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The best option is to use the subway to get around.
Trains with numbers operate within Manhattan, and the trains with letters go outside of the main island – a good rule of thumb for NY subway rookies! Brooklyn is a vast borough
but not too big for exploring by foot – on a beautiful day it’s the best way to take in the city.
