The history surrounding the bridge makes it worth the stop. There is a small display and memorial by field gun just off the river bank. Do not miss the visitor's center. It is simple but gives nice display of the battle. The short bios of participants (British, German and Dutch citizens) made it real for my teen son.
Got here at last, been wanting to come since i was a kid, was pleased to stand in such a historic place and pay respect to our forces that lost their lives trying to take it.
A small but very informative exhibition about the 'Bridge too far'.Moving eye-witness accounts that make you reflect on what was sacrificed and endured by those who were there.
Rebuilt... Not the original (of course). Nevertheless the place is the same and you can easily imagine the war time action.
A bridge with a very rich WWII history. There is a museum there that explain the whole story of the siege of Arnhem by the allied forces, which is very interesting. The bridge itself though...it's just a bridge.
I have wanted to visit this historic site for many years. While it is a bridge, it still resonates with the historic significance. I am glad that I visited the airborne museum first to put the bridge in its historical context.
There's a great little museum which tells the real story of the Battle of Arnhem, and not the one immortailsed by Hollywood.
Arnhem a beautiful city ! Even more so when you understand it's history. The John Frost Bridge is scenic of the world war two battle. Driving over this bridge feels surreal.
I accept that the bridge is a post-war reconstruction, and little remains in the precinct that dates from the war years - but this place has an ambience that is hard to resist. So submit to the desire to cross it and be photographed on it. If you are there you know why it is important .
Not a great attraction but when you realise what took place here it is awe inspiring. Just under the bridge on the north bank there is a great little museum. Lest we forget
