Attractions and Places To See around okres Komárno - Top 20

Gen. Klapka Square presents its dominant feature – the statue of György Klapka, a representative of the Hungarian Revolution in 1848-49. In 1849, General Klapka took command of the defense of Komárno as the last fort of the revolutionaries against the Austrian Imperial Army. The building of Komárno Town Hall also serves as the municipal office today. The first town hall building, along with many other buildings in Komárno, was destroyed in 1763 by an extensive earthquake. From then on, the town hall was destroyed and rebuilt several times. It received its present form in 1875. At 10 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM, and 4 PM, the Hussar March can be heard in the square, while a figure of a Hussar comes out of a small door in the town hall tower. The original Zichy Palace was built in 1775 for Count Francis Zichy. Today it is a place where exhibitions of the museum called Podunajské múzeum are located. The building of former clinics was a residence of a savings bank during the time of the monarchy; currently, the building is not used. In front of the clinics are reproductions of Komárno's historical photos. https://www.komarno.com/en/small-journey/gen-klapka-square/

This is a real insider tip for nature lovers and families seeking tranquility away from the crowds. The place is located on an island in the Danube (in the Dunajské luhy nature reserve), about an hour's drive from Bratislava or Győr. It is an active organic farm. There are 300-400 year old oak trees, free-roaming animals (goats, horses, donkeys) and direct access to the river with small sandy beaches.

The Dunajské luhy (Danube floodplain) protected landscape area in Slovakia is a fascinating region for nature lovers. If you are specifically looking for a "shelter by the water", it is most likely the birdwatching hide at the Hrušov reservoir, which is often referred to exactly like that in hiking and cycling circles (e.g. on Komoot).

Komárno (Slovak Komárno, Hungarian Komárom) is a historically significant city at the confluence of the Váh and the Danube. Its history is shaped by its strategic location as a border fortress and its current division into a Slovak and a Hungarian city.

The Roman fort Celemantia (also known as Kelemantia or Leányvár) is a fascinating archaeological site in present-day Slovakia. It is particularly significant because it was one of the few Roman camps located directly on the "barbarian" side of the Danube.

The Old Town Hall of Košice (Slovak: Historická radnica) is one of the most magnificent buildings in the historic old town and is located directly on the main street (Hlavná ulica 59). The current building was erected between 1779 and 1780 in the Baroque-Classical style. It was built according to the plans of the master builder J. Langer from Bratislava.

The Žitava Peace Monument (Slovak: Pamätník Žitavského mieru) commemorates a diplomatic event of world historical significance that took place in 1606 at the mouth of the Žitava river into the Danube. The monument is now located in the Žitavská Tôňa district of the municipality of Radvaň nad Dunajom (Southern Slovakia, near Komárno). On November 11, 1606, the peace treaty was signed here, ending the so-called "Long Turkish War" (1593–1606) between the Habsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire.

The St. Andrew's Basilica (Slovak: Bazilika svätého Ondreja) is the most striking religious building in Komárno (Slovakia) and one of the largest churches in the country. It has a turbulent history behind it, marked by natural disasters and wars.
