Ha’penny Bridge

The Ha’penny Bridge is Dublin’s most famous pedestrian crossing, arching over the River Liffey since 1816. Built of cast iron and originally financed by a half‑penny toll, it links Temple Bar with the north city center. Its elegant lamps and graceful curve make it a favorite for photos, especially at sunrise or dusk. Visiting offers a quick, atmospheric glimpse of Dublin’s history amid everyday city life. It’s best combined with a riverside stroll or nearby pubs and markets; expect crowds at peak times but easy access and a central location. No admission, open at all hours.
