Štúrovo is the town on the Slovak side of the border, which has an ethnic Hungarian majority. On a small hill overlooking the town and the Danube is a Cathedral, which is the largest in Hungary, and the site at which the Hungarian king Vajk (Szent István) was baptised. The adjacent castle complex is also worth a look. You can easily get here by bus or train from Budapest. Alternatively, you can take a train to Štúrovo which is on the main line between Budapest and Bratislava. From there, it's a 45 minute walk to the Danube.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6125152/eda6f08c-5ce9-452d-8972-f704615da7b5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ### Popular cities in Komarom-Esztergom [Esztergom Known for Cathedrals, Churches and Castle ](https://expedia.co.uk/Esztergom.dx6125152) Dominated by a massive basilica rising high above the Danube River, this rural town has been the seat of Hungarian Roman Catholicism for more than a thousand years. ## Reasons to visit - Esztergom Basilica [Explore city](https://expedia.co.uk/Esztergom.dx6125152)[Find hotels](https://expedia.co.uk/Esztergom-Hotels.d6125152.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [Tata Known for Lakes, Natural parks and Golf ](https://expedia.co.uk/Tata.dx6023224) Escape to Tata!
