Grattan Bridge! It's one of those classic spots that capture the essence of the city. You can't miss it – a beautiful bridge spanning the River Liffey, connecting Capel Street on the north side and Parliament Street on the south side.

The Grattan Bridge has been around for ages, and it's seen so much history unfold. From horse-drawn carriages to modern cars and bustling pedestrians, it's witnessed it all.

The views from the bridge are pretty epic, too. You get a fantastic panorama of Dublin's skyline, including some iconic landmarks like the Ha'penny Bridge and the Custom House.

Grattan Bridge is the third oldest fixed crossing of the Liffey in Dublin. Humphrey Jervis built the first bridge at this location in 1676 to develop the land north of the river. It was a stone bridge with a wooden bascule bridge in the middle. The bridge was the easternmost bridge in the city at the time.
