Riu Liffey
Dublín, IRLANDA 2024
The River Liffey is a central and historical feature of Dublin, flowing from west to east through the city before emptying into Dublin Bay in the Irish Sea. The river has played a crucial role throughout the city's over 1,000-year history, acting as a trade route and, at one point, a boundary between the north and south. Today, the river, which is 125 km long and originates at Sally Gap (County Wicklow), is a route for tourist cruises and hosts popular events like the annual Liffey Swim (a swimming race since 1920) and the Colours Boat Races (since 1947). It is crossed by several notable bridges, including the iconic Ha'penny Bridge (or Liffey Bridge) and the modern Samuel Beckett Bridge, designed by Santiago Calatrava.
