Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- JellybellydancerBurscough, UK1,468 contributionsIt no longer costs a ha’penny to cross and is now looking a little tired in places, but this pretty, iron landmark is still very impressive and hard to miss in central Dublin.Written 8 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Paying tribute to the anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution 23rd October.
Beautiful bridge at the heart of Dublin.Written 10 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nearby is the O'Connel street area, the Spire, the Post Office and some other pubs. It's not far from the Temple Bar and Grafton Street areas.
I was able to catch a nice sunset along the river from this bridge as well. It's something I remember fondly from my trip to Dublin.Written 17 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We needed to cross the Liffey, to get to the other side. We were those chickens and we were clucking ready...
We'd just been to Temple Bar, like the feathered, egg laying tourists that we were. Now we needed to get over that river and we certainly weren't swimming it.
Then, like a shining bridgey beacon, the Millennium Bridge appeared and over it we trotted. The bridge did indeed cross the Liffey and for that reason alone, it deserves top marks. It was solid, it was reliable, it crossed a body of water, it was a bridge and our nest awaited...Written 1 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's got a fun, angular look and provides some really great views out to the sea (and of the stunning Samuel Beckett bridge), as well as down the river into the city. It's a nice, pedestrian friendly bridge that provides a convenient crossing; from there it was easy for me to get places like Trinity College or Temple Bar.Written 17 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- stalbansroamerSt Albans64 contributionsThe canal bridge where 19th-century mathematician Hamilton wrote the formulae for quaternions is very close to the Broombridge LUAS (tram) and rail stations. The original graffiti is long gone but modern versions and a plaque make this place of pilgrimage (for mathematicians and the curious) a worthwhile visit, easily accessible from Central Dublin.Written 22 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SteveS1970Coventry, UK8,934 contributionsWe crossed this bridge the most when crossing the river. It is a bridge doing its job, the “sea horses” are impressive and reminded me of the Guinness advert with the surfer.Written 19 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David DDevon, UK28,055 contributionsThursday 4th August and we walked across this bridge which spans the River Liffey for 48 metres (over 157 feet). It joins Marlborough Street on one side of the River to Hawkins Street on the other.
The Bridge opened in 2014, it was constructed to carry the Luas (Street Tram). At 26 metres (85 feet) as well as the Luas it only carries public transport, taxis and pedestrians.
It is named in honour of Rosanna "Rosie" Hackett, who was born in Dublin in 1893 and died there in 1976 aged 83.
During her life she was a Trade Unionist and co-founder of the Irish Women Workers' Union. She supported the strikers in the Dublin Lockout in 1913. She was also a member of the Irish Citizen Army and was involved in the Easter Rising of 1916.
It is rather fitting that this bridge bears her name as it is located a short distance from Liberty Hall, the Trade Union Headquarters in Dublin. It is also one of the visible landmarks when looking down the Liffey from the Bridge in the direction of Dublin Port.Written 17 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are a couple in Linear Park at the mouth of the canal and a little further up. There is also one further upstream near the Custom House.
All the bridges I saw are still used for road traffic and quite busy however I was not sure if they still lift?
That said it is nice to see some unusual engineering still in situ.Written 31 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It takes pedestrians and traffic from one side to the other.
It is quite close to Busaras and Connolly station so it is handy for public transport connections.
It's not an amazing bridge architecturally. If that is what you are after I would suggest the Samuel Beckett Bridge which is further downstream towards the Irish Sea. However if you want to get from one side of the river to the other and you are in the area then the Talbot Memorial Bridge will adequately serve its purpose.Written 17 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Just next to it you also have a raised railway bridge.Written 27 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephenCrossDublin, Ireland31,566 contributionsNothing specular but it is a nice bridge with a small memorial and plaque to Robert Emmet. Worth a look.Written 26 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
