Tatabánya

Tatabánya lies in a valley between the Gerecse and Vértes Mountains, approximately 55 kilometers northwest of Budapest along the Vienna railway line.

The settlement emerged from the unification of three villages in 1947, following the discovery of substantial coal deposits that transformed the region into a mining center.

The Mari Jászai Theatre presents regular performances while the Industrial Open-Air Mining Museum displays equipment and exhibits from the city's mining heritage.

The M1 motorway and efficient public transportation system connect Tatabánya to Budapest, with T-Busz operating local routes throughout the metropolitan area.

The Turul monument on Gerecse Mountain ranks as Central Europe's largest bird statue, marking the location of a medieval Hungarian victory.
