About Brooklyn
Including tips for the best time to visit Brooklyn
A borough of New York City, Brooklyn was named after a village in the Netherlands, and is a populous area with over two million residents today. The cosmopolitan neighbourhood of Brooklyn is steeped in history and is dotted with flea markets, parks and museums.
Brooklyn Museum is one of the first choices of history lovers during their Brooklyn trip. Spend a lazy afternoon looking around this huge space dedicated to numerous artefacts and treasures from all across the world. Liven up your evening at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, a multi-arts centre, for live shows, including dance, stand-up comedy and plays, among others.
For a bit of fun and adventure, visit Luna Park in Coney Island. With 28 rides and the famous Cyclone Roller Coaster, this amusement park is a perfect place to let loose and enjoy. Stop at the oldest continually operating aquarium in the country, the New York Aquarium, to see sharks, whales, penguins and other marine life.
Spend your day at Brooklyn strolling through the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. You can rent a bicycle or skate while enjoying views of the busy city along the way. Head to Brooklyn Flea for a selection of vintage items, clothing and accessories. Brooklyn Botanic Garden is a top choice with nature lovers for a peaceful afternoon under the shade of trees. Try to time your visit with the Sakura Matsuri Festival in spring to see the garden awash with cherry blossoms.

Great village feel, with lots of shops, bars & restaurants and lots of unexpected facilities. Transport links are good for Manhattan but there’s a slower & more comfortable feel to Williamsburg.
Super friendly staff and very helpful.

Super friendly staff and very helpful. One of the guys behind the counter (I forget his name) suggested a few local bars and places to eat which were perfect and I ended up meeting some like minded people. Lovely area, loads of bars and walkable to the Brooklyn Bridge on into Manhattan. Great hostel.

Excellent location and nearby many restaurants and subways..Room was quite big considering New York ..they offered dry cleaning and breakfast at a reasonable price.Bed was comfy but queen size could have been a little bigger…was very impressed with everday room service which is very rare after covid.Highly impressed would stay again next time i visit NYC
Amazing food-especially Zatar restaurant.
November 17, 2022
Amazing food-especially Zatar restaurant. The best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! The Brooklyn Botanical garden was beautiful and we had the joy of going to Lightscape Brooklyn, a beautiful holiday artist light installation. The Museum of Moving Pictures is also a gem. There’s so much to see and enjoy in Brooklyn - wonderful art and delicious food. I rented a car this time and while the bus system is good, I was also v happy to find inexpensive or free street parking close to everywhere I needed it.
