About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Eurovea Embankment in Bratislava leaves the deckchairs and café terraces behind for a June morning in nineteen forty-four, when air-raid sirens sounded over the Danube and much of the city decided they meant somebody else. It touches the Apollo oil refinery, the Winter Harbour and the wartime industrial riverbank that stood where the lawn is now. Best heard facing the water, with the Old Bridge off to your right.
