Dunajská Streda
Spend half a day in Dunajská Streda: walk the historic centre, visit the City Hall and Yellow Castle, then relax at the thermal park.
Dunajská Streda is a small town on the Danube island with a compact historic centre, a thermal park and a few museums. One morning to see the sights and a quick dip is enough; longer stays are only for the thermal spa or day‑trips to nearby villages.
