Brooklyn Heights: A Self-Guided Tour from the Promenade to Truman Capote's house

30 to 45 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: Portuguese and 3 more

Brooklyn Heights first took shape when Robert Fulton's steamship started ferrying passengers across the East River. Today, it’s a well preserved residential neighbourhood with Greek Revival and Italianate Row House architecture, a beautiful promenade and breathtaking views of Manhattan. Let's explore it together.

On this self guided audio tour, I’ll tell you about its first residents, and I’ll guide you through its charming streets. We’ll walk on the Promenade where you can take as many pictures of Manhattan's skyline as you like because there’s no rush to finish the tour. I’ll also recommend some spots to grab a bite along the way.

Some of the landmarks you’ll see include:

• The Brooklyn Heights Promenade
• Manhattan's skyline
• A glimpse of the Statue of Liberty
• Trump Capote's former house
• Brooklyn Historical Society Building
