The Ha'penny Bridge

a great bridge in a great part of town and has a nice history to it i still think they should charge u a cent for the fun on it :P

An iconic feature in Dublin.
Great place to take a picture or two with the city and river liffey behind you. Its on the way to Temple Bar also .

An iconic image of Dublin city. The plethora of homeless people who call this their home just makes it an even more accuate picture of the paradox that is modern Ireland. Beauty and misery can coexist side by side and this bridge is proof.

If you’re looking for a harrowing insight into the plight of the homeless in Dublin, head to the ha’penny bridge where there’s a perfect concentration of poverty and depredation to confirm any queries you might have. And no, that’s not the original colour of the cement that’s been slopped all over the paving of the bridge itself, thats a floor of introdden chewing gum. Mind your head.

A must to cross this bridge in Dublin, especially if you’re on your way Temple Bar.

This beautiful bridge always makes me stop and take in the beauty of my adopted city. It is one of the instantly recognisable landmarks of Dublin. It is made out of iron and there are 3 lamps on it which give it such an old-worldly air. In the evenings when the lamps shine, I think it is one of the most romantic sights ever. The name of the bridge comes from the pontage to cross it which was half a penny. Stepping onto this bridge connects me instantly to old Dublin with all its charm and I am sure it will for you too.

Beautiful iconic bridge over the Liffey in Dublin.

No visit to Dublin is complete without taking a stroll across the Ha’penny Bridge in my opinion, especially if you’re staggering out of nearby Temple Bar at night.

Built in 1816, it is named because of the toll that was once paid by those wishing to cross the river. It’s official name is actually the Liffey Bridge.
