Komárom

Komárom is a town on the Danube's south bank with a central railway station, industrial zones, and dense networks connecting to surrounding regions. Multiple bridges span the river, linking this Hungarian section to the Slovak side across the water.

The original city was divided by the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, with the northern section becoming present-day Komárno in Slovakia. This split along the Danube shaped the development of both settlements as separate communities.

The city displays a blend of Hungarian and Slovak influences in its street names, shops, and local customs that reflect daily life on both sides. People regularly cross the bridges to visit family and friends, making these connections part of the town's ordinary rhythm.

The Elisabeth Bridge and Monostor Bridge connect both sides and are accessible to pedestrians and vehicles crossing between the two territories. Regular train services link the town to Budapest and Bratislava, making travel straightforward for those using public transportation.

Fort Monostor, built between 1850 and 1871, remains one of Central Europe's largest preserved military fortification systems with multiple connected defensive structures. Parts of the fortress can still be explored today, offering views of both riverbanks.
