Things to Do  

Exchange money at the border

Exchange money at the border, Komarno

Timis offers a lot to do,including playing pool(for 60 SK per hour=1,2USD),gambling,watching Tv(mostly sports or music channel) or just sitting with your friends and chatting while drinking the glass of whiskey,vodka,or another good alcohol beverage.During the summer there are tables outside so you can actually breath fresh air.It's sometimes hard to breath inside due to cigarette smoke.

Dress Code: You can wear whatever,but be aware of too attractive dresses,because some men could misunderstand,mainly after some glasses of beer...
Men can really wear what they want,from suitdress (you would look weird) to sporty shorts with t-shirt.

It doesn't matter whether or not you are interested in history.You just have to see this.It's called 'Leanyvar' or Girls'town and it is situated near Iza,village next to Komarno.
Leanyvar are old ruins of the former Roman town.Ancient Romans had their base there.
I'll add picture later.
