Places to See | Dublin, Ireland.

This is probably the most famous place to see in Dublin and the best known of the city’s bridges. It was built in 1816 and was the first iron bridge in Ireland. It is a single span structure with cast iron railings and decorative lamps. It was originally named the Liffey Bridge but is now called the Ha’penny because until 1919 to cross it there was a half-penny charge.

The graceful curve of the Ha’penny Bridge is accepted as one of the official symbols of Dublin.

Address: The Ha’penny Bridge, Dublin Tourism Tourism Centre, Suffolk Street, Dublin 2, Ireland
