About this audio guide
This guide to the Apollo Bridge in Bratislava starts with the tilted steel arch above your head and the unusual way the span reached its pillars. It then asks why a modern Danube crossing carries the name of a Greek god, and digs into the industrial ground under its northern ramp during the Second World War. Best heard on the walkway near the northern end, looking back toward the bank.
