Ha'penny Bridge

Introduction

Ha'penny Bridge (officially Liffey Bridge) is the iconic pedestrian cast-iron bridge over the River Liffey in Dublin, Ireland. Opened in 1816, this white cast-iron arch with its elegant curve is Dublin's most photogenic bridge, linking Temple Bar with the city center north — Dublin's most recognizable landmark and a classic postcard image. Designed by British engineers and opened in 1816 — Dublin's oldest cast-iron bridge, officially "Liffey Bridge." A white cast-iron arch ~43 m long with an elegant curve over the Liffey. Named "Ha'penny" for the half-penny toll once charged (free since 1919). The bridge links Temple Bar on the south with the city center on the north — Dublin's busiest pedestrian bridge. At night, lights illuminate the bridge and its Liffey reflection. Visiting to feel the atmosphere of both Liffey banks from Dublin's most elegant cast-iron arch is a classic, romantic landmark experience.
