Beautiful bridge to walk across! The Mária Valéria Bridge connects Hungary and Slovakia with no border checks, making it a pleasant cross-country walk. It’s built over the Danube River and offers stunning views of the Esztergom Basilica and the wide Danube. Perfect spot for peaceful evening or sunset walks with breathtaking scenery on both sides.

A beautiful and historic bridge connecting Esztergom (Hungary) and Štúrovo (Slovakia) 🌉🇭🇺🇸🇰.

The bridge has an interesting history, and is well worth walking across over the Danube.

You can walk through the bridge from Slovenia to Slovakia, which is amazing experience ha, also u can get a view of the castle n church from the opposite side.

We walked from Basilica of Esztergom to this bridge and it was a great experienced. The bridge that connects Hungary and Slovakia ❤️

Nice chain bridge spanning the Danube and connecting Hungary to Slovakia. Can walk or drive across. Walking across is fun as there is a line to demarcate the border. Plus on the Slovak side there is a great view of the basilica in Esztergom. No control on either side.

The Mária Valéria Bridge in Štúrovo is a graceful steel‑truss gateway spanning the Danube and linking Slovakia to Hungary. Opened in 1895 and rebuilt after wartime destructions in 1926 and again in 2001, it measures roughly 500 m in length and 12 m across, with five uneven spans born of riverbed constraints . Today, it offers a seamless pedestrian crossing with no border checks, since both countries joined Schengen in 2007 . Walking across provides panoramic views of Esztergom’s hilltop cathedral and castle, making it a photogenic and symbolic connector of cultures . A short, scenic stroll that impresses with its history and vistas—a must‑visit when in Štúrovo.
