Dublin city's Ha'penny Bridge

Ha'penny Bridge

A romantic gestrue

A true treasure of Dublin is the city’s first ever pedestrianised bridge. This iron arch required a toll to cross back in the day with a charge of one penny and so the Dubliners nicknamed it the Ha’penny Bridge which it is still known as to this day! Replacing the Liffey ferry, it has been estimated that nearly 30,000 people cross over the structure a day.

 

Similar to other world-famous city bridges lovers began to decorate it with locks to represent their feelings for one another all decorated with their own meaningful messages. Although the gestures were sweet these love locks have been removed by Dublin City Council to prevent damage to the iconic bridge and to protect its form for the future. Now couples walk over it to express their admiration.

 

The bridge itself is a popular location due to its history and beauty. The Ha’penny Bridge is a photo friendly space and captures the best of Dublin. Either side of the bridge leads to a range of bars and restaurants to enjoy.
