Esztergom may be a small town, but its many sights, large water park and nearby attractions make it an ideal starting point for a tour of the northernmost parts of Hungary.
If you're heading to this part of the country, we recommend staying in Esztergom for 1-2 nights.

Accommodation in Štúrovo
The Slovakian town of Štúrovo is just 0.5km across the river from Esztergom and many travellers prefer to stay here. Whether for the lower language barrier or simply the lower prices.
The most popular accommodations include Elite Pension right on the main pedestrian zone with prices starting from 35 eur per night.
Hotel prices in Ostrihome
Although the town is small and out of the main European traffic flows, it is still one of the tourist spots thanks to the famous Basilica and the Royal Castle.
This is one of the reasons why accommodation prices here are higher than in similarly sized Hungarian cities.
For a regular 3* hotel you can pay from 65 eur in a 2-bed room in high season, smaller guesthouses will also offer prices from 40 eur.
