O’ Connell Street is located in the center of Dublin City, only a short stroll of the Morrison Hotel. O’ Connell Street serves many different purposes, it is a major bus route for the city, the main route for the annual St Patrick’s Day Festival Parade and has many stores to explore.
This notable street is lined with many beautiful and historic buildings such as the General Post Office and Clerys Department Store.
O'Connell Street has often been centre-stage in Irish history, attracting the city's most prominent monuments and public art through the centuries, and formed the backdrop to one of the 1913
Dublin Lockout gatherings, the 1916
Easter Rising, the
Irish Civil War of 1922, the destruction of the
Nelson Pillar in 1966, and many public celebrations, protests and demonstrations through the years – a role it continues to play to this day.
The Ha’penny Bridge, officially named the Liffey Bridge is one of Dublin’s most iconic pedestrian bridges. The Ha’penny Brdge as it is fondly known as, first got its name from the toll that was charged to cross it when it was first constructed.
This charming bridge was constructed in 1816 to connect pedestrians between the North side of the City and the South side. The arch shaped bridge is exquisitely made of cast iron and is minutes’ walk from the doors of the Morrison hotel.
In recent years the bridge has become home to many love locks where couples inscribe their names onto locks, attach them to the bridge and throw away the key, signifying eternal love.
