Komárno (, colloquially
Révkomárom, Öregkomárom, Észak-Komárom, , ) is a town in
Slovakia at the
confluence of the
Danube and the
Váh rivers. Komárno was formed from part of a historical town in
Hungary situated on both banks of the Danube. Following
World War I and the
Treaty of Trianon, the border of the newly created
Czechoslovakia cut the historical, unified town in half, creating two new towns. The smaller part, based on the former suburb of Újszony, is in present-day
Hungary as
Komárom (the historical Hungarian town had the same name). Komárno and Komárom are connected by the Elisabeth Bridge, which used to be a border crossing between Slovakia and Hungary until border checks were lifted due to the
Schengen Area rules.
