Dunaújváros

Dunaújváros sits on the western bank of the Danube with modern urban layout, wide avenues, and regular street patterns that reflect planned development. The city's structure organizes residential and industrial zones around these main thoroughfares in a clear geometric arrangement.

The city was founded in 1950 and originally named Sztálinváros as part of Hungary's post-war industrial expansion program. Its creation was tied directly to the construction of large steel and heavy manufacturing facilities.

The Intercisa Museum displays Roman artifacts from the ancient settlement that once occupied this location along the Danube frontier. Visitors can see everyday objects and structures that reveal how people lived at this strategic riverside post.

The city sits along the Danube and connects to Budapest via the M6 motorway, making access straightforward. The regular street grid makes it easy to navigate on foot and explore different neighborhoods.

The ISD DUNAFERR steelworks, established in 1954, is the largest in Hungary and employs thousands of workers. This factory continues to shape the city's appearance and economy today.
