Is Ha'penny Bridge worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Ha'penny Bridge works.

A genuinely pretty, photogenic Dublin icon, especially when lit at dusk, and a 30-second free stroll across the river. The honest catch: it's purely a photo stop — there's nothing to do but walk across — and it's smaller and more crowded with selfie-takers than photos suggest.
