About this audio guide
This guide to Čumil, the bronze man peering out of a manhole in Bratislava's Old Town, is about the sculptor Viktor Hulík and the Korzo promenade he remembered from his teenage years. It takes you to a summer street festival in nineteen ninety-seven, when a newly renovated pedestrian zone opened to a huge crowd. Best heard crouched at the corner of Panská and Rybárska brána, level with his face.
