Travel Guide Komárom

Located 18 km northwest of Tata, this city of 20 000 inhabitants is linked to Komárno, its twin sister sister, across the Danube, by a large bridge of 500 m. Komárom is today the main border crossing point between Hungary and the Slovak Republic. The two cities formed a single municipality until their separation by the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, and the A community remains predominant on both sides, as evidenced by double signs in Slovak and Hungarian in Komárno, where the historic heart of the city is located. This confluence between the Danube and the Váh has always been the place of fortified squares: in Roman times there was Brigetio, one of the first and most important Roman squares of Pannonia; in the th century there were the three castles of the Habsburg islands, still visible today (only fortress Monosteri, classified by Historical monuments, is truly worthy of interest). Komárom is also a spa town.
