The Mária Valéria Bridge spans the Danube, linking Esztergom with the Slovak town of Štúrovo. Originally built in 1895 and reconstructed after World War II, it serves as a pedestrian and vehicle crossing. Walking across provides stunning, unobstructed views of the basilica and the river. The bridge is a popular spot for photographers and a symbolic link between two nations.
Don't miss
- Walk the entire bridge to enjoy panoramic views of the basilica and the Danube Bend.
- Photograph the bridge itself, especially at sunset when the basilica is illuminated.
- Cross into Štúrovo to explore the Slovak side and its riverside promenade.
