Beautiful cast iron pedestrian bridge that spans 43 metres over the River Liffey. It was opened in 1816 as a toll bridge and stopped charging in 1919. The iconic Dublin bridge is best viewed early morning or late at night, if you want to avoid the crowds.

Ha’penny Bridge might look like it’s just another bridge. But if you read about the history, you will know how significant this bridge is. This bridge was built in the 1816 and there apparently half a penny was the toll that had to be paid until the year 1919 in order to cross this bridge. This is from where the name Ha’penny originated as the actual name of this bridge was Wellington bridge. I wonder if Dubliners know the original of the name. But this is definitely of importance and a must see one if you are in Dublin.

This bridge is very meaningful to me. Before Saturday July 9, I never heard of it. By 9 pm that evening, I was on the top of the bridge being proposed to! It was incredible, romantical, beautiful and so so busy!!! But there he was, on his knee! Of course I said yes! There was no other answer for me! As we are hugging and loving the moment, a young girl comes up to us and says "I was watching your beautiful moment and was taking photos of you two! Would you like to have them?". Heck yes!!!!! The photo is one of the ones she sent me! I love this bridge!

Most iconic Dublin's bridge built by William Walsh in 1816 connecting Bachelors Walk and Temple Bar over Liffey River. Take a look at night too, it's very well illuminated and particularly scenic.

Attractive bridge, that attracts pickpockets. Needs some signage or surveillance cameras for the tourists. The beauty is distracting, which makes for easier targets. Noticed three guys coming too close behind me, so I moved to the side to face them and they passed by. Suspicious. They kept walking from one end to the other, and crowding near people. Finally saw one guy unzip the top of a tourist’s backpack wide open, he looked back and saw I was looking right at him. Sheepish smile and moved away. I caught up to the lady and told her to zip up her backpack. She was shocked and thankful. Bridge itself is cool and picturesque, but loss of stars due to neglecting tourist needs.

Fabulous views of the river from here and such lovely architecture. It does seem a place homeless people sit however Dublin seems to have alot of homeless people no mater were you walk. So be generous and remember 50 cent to you maybe nothing but to someone else could mean they eat!

Interesting bridge in Dublin. In the past, a long time ago, you had to pay to cross the bridge. One of the most famous landmarks of the city and especially at night great illuminated, during the day the bridge is full of tourists.

The Ha'Penny Bridge, originally known as the Wellington Bridge, is Dublin's oldest pedestrian crossing over the River Liffey. It was erected in 1816 and acquired its better-known nickname from the halfpenny toll levied on all users of the bridge until 1919.

The bridge is situated right in the middle of Dublin. It's a well-known tourist attraction and it's always busy. You can get eateries, phone shops, shopping plazas all around it and the famous Heineken building is close by. Great for a good afternoon off and to take pictures!

A beautiful 19th century example of classic engineering and architecture. As an engineer I love seeing structures built so long ago still functional and beautiful hundreds of years later. Loved seeing it, walking across it and especially being there with my beautiful wife.

Beautiful place to feel d heart of Dublin...10 minutes of quiet observation gives you beauty of Liffey river the chaos of seagulls..busy people moving to their day to day lives...tourists enjoying the beauty and shops all around with their array of offerings

The Ha'penny Bridge is truly iconic – a symbol of Dublin's charm and history. Crossing this picturesque bridge is like stepping into a postcard scene. Its elegant design and breathtaking views of the River Liffey make it a must-see landmark. A timeless gem that encapsulates the spirit of Dublin, offering a magical experience for locals and visitors alike.

One of many bridges...sort of a sister city to Pittsburgh, Pa, USA, another city of bridges. U2 artists and Letterman on the Disney+ "A Sort of Homecoming" music documentary prompted me to communicate this...great movie so far! 3/21/2023.

The iconic Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin is a wonderful iron bridge, always a pleasure to walk over the. In the footsteps of thousands of Dubliners this historic bridge is a wonderful image for Dublin. So called as it was originally a toll bridge and it charged a half penny to cross. If in Dublin enjoy the experience of walking over the bridge.

Amazing how a little imperfection can make it absolutely perfect, adorable, personal. This bridge has a personality I wish some people had. The world would be a much more beautiful and compassionate. The bridge you want to hug.

Nice bridge with old design! The color is bright white and it attracts your attention inviting you to cross it reaching temple bar area, ready for a good beer

Our beloved Bridge. How many good Souls pottered across it ? Welcome to Dublin. I'm biased ☘️ but it is splendid ! Have a lovely trip

The most iconic place in Dublin my parents walked it my grandparents my great grandparents. And my children although we don't live in Dublin we walk it at least once a year.

Loved taking our friend Penny. Enjoyed Ireland so much. Want to go back

Nice bridge. Always busy.

The famous landmark which is near temple bar. You will surely end up walking across it or the other bridges to catch the luas from Jarvis from temple bar.

The Halfpenny Bridge in Dublin is like the VIP section of the Liffey – but watch out for the bridge's unofficial welcoming committee, the beggars! They've got the persistence of door-to-door salespeople, minus the product. Trying to cross the bridge feels like running a charity marathon – everyone's got a cause, and they're not afraid to make it known. These beggars have mastered the art of timing; they pop up just when you think you've escaped the last one. It's like a game of "Beggar Bingo" – how many can you dodge before reaching the other side? Maybe we should start rating them for creativity – extra points for the most original sob story? Despite the beggars' best efforts, the Halfpenny Bridge remains a charming Dublin landmark. Just be prepared to tap dance your way through the charity gauntlet on your journey across – it's all part of the Liffey-side entertainment!

City kayaking under the bridge. Good fun.

Nice pedestrian bridge with good views, stroll across as a tourist.

It's one of the most recognizable sight in Dublin, this iron bridge stretching across the river. It's a nice bridge to photograph.

This amazing feature that has stood the test of time ..once a half penny to cross..now a bustling way of getting to temple bar at very little cost

there's so many bridge across the liffey river, but this one looks cute! if you're curious, look up the story behind it

Rediscovering this wee pub since Covid-19 hit. A little gem of a pub with friendly staff and a good pint 🍺.

Very nice historic bridge and part of every sightseeing tour in Dublin.

Charming and historic, the Ha'penny Bridge in Dublin is a delightful walk with stunning views of the River Liffey. A must-visit for its picturesque and historic significance

Well-known footbridge that crosses the river Liffey. The brige has plenty of character and features in the Phil Lynott music 'Old Town'. Phil was also the lead singer and bass player of Thin Lizzy.

Great history, pretty views, busy bridge, there are too many people asking for money, I counted about 5 people in just a few minutes that I passed through the bridge, but in general the time this bridge have is interesting

Hidden over the bridge is Temple Bar. Alive with great Irish bars and restaurants

Dublin is a fantastic place to visit this bridge is only half of the history and adventures you can have when you cross it , it takes you to temple bar molly Malone ,Grafton street for shoppers & don’t forget to visit the Trinity college library it’s wonderful . Then you can go back over the Liffey and back onto O’Connell street and have more fun !

This is the famous place in Dublin and it’s a must visit . The sunset looks beautiful and it’s always crowded since it’s the bridge between two streets. The scene is beautiful here .

Cool iconic bridge, one of many here in Dublin but this is my favourite due to its wrought iron architecture. Just imagine how many Guinness inebriated Dublin lads have staggered across this river bridge after a night out in the town!

Good photo point, best times always mornings and evenings and at night, for those fans of night pictures, there is a great spot and even better when there is no windy (hard to happen but in a luck day you'll get amazing shots).

Very nice view!

Just a bridge. But it is connecting very interesting parts of the banks of River Lifey

Beautiful little bridge that was the first bridge to help people from Dublin cross the river. Beautiful views of the city and it takes you right to the center on temple bar.

Beautiful bridge with great history. An ideal location for photos. Very busy during the day but at night it was a great location!

Great place to explore. Plenty to do in the Temple area.
