The 1895 bridge linking Esztergom with Štúrovo, in Slovakia · A view of the basilica above the river · 30–45 min · Free

The Maria Valeria Bridge crosses the Danube between Esztergom and Štúrovo, in Slovakia. It was opened in 1895, blown up in 1944 and not rebuilt until 2001. Crossing it on foot takes about ten minutes and, with both countries in the Schengen Area, there is no border control: just carry your ID card. The best photo of the basilica, whole above the river, is taken from the Slovak side or from the middle of the bridge. On the other side you pay in euros.
