Štúrovo is located in the southernmost corner of Slovakia; the Danube must descend another 110 m until it reaches the sea.
On the opposite bank of the Danube lies Esztergom (Gran), where the first Hungarian king was crowned; the basilica, visible from everywhere, is a famous landmark.
Štúrovo is a very popular health resort, thanks to its thermal springs.

In the vicinity lie the hilly reserves Kováčovské kopce (Kovácspataki hegyek) and Vŕšok (Hegyfarok), which are of volcanic origin. On the Hungarian side are the foothills of the Pilis range.
The town has about 13'000 inhabitants; Hungarian is the mother tongue of the majority. But nearly all inhabitants speak Slovak as well as Hungarian (and mostly simultaneously).
