Trnava emerges as a market town with an advantageous location at the crossroads of trade routes to Bratislava, Nitra, Považie, and across the Small Carpathians to Moravia. The relatively scattered settlement began to concentrate around the sacral buildings into settlements on the two loess terraces, with the brook Trnávka flowing between them.
Trnava is on the major D1 Slovak freeway and close to its R1 intersection. It has a good connection to the Slovak capital Bratislava and nearby cities such as Nitra, Piestany, and Trencin. The bus station is near Trnava city center next to the railway station.
