About this audio guide
This guide to Lovers' Bridge in Sofia stands you on a plain footbridge over Bulgaria Boulevard, beside the National Palace of Culture, and asks how a crossing with no official name ended up with a romantic one. It follows the young couples who made it their meeting point, and the open-air exhibitions that have turned its walkway into a free gallery. Best heard on the bridge itself, around dusk.
