📖

Full description

The Ha'penny Bridge is a cast-iron footbridge that opened in 1816 and takes its name from the half-penny toll once charged to cross. It links the north and south sides of the Liffey and is crossed by thousands of pedestrians every day.

Reviewers enjoy it both by day and in the evening, when the riverside atmosphere is at its liveliest. The bridge is free and open at all hours, so a stop of around 15 minutes fits easily into a walk along the quays.

A lovely spot to visit both during the day and in the evening. The Ha’penny Bridge has so much charm, and walking along the river nearby is a great way to enjoy Dublin’s atmosphere. Definitely worth taking your time here.
