[3] In the lower, west part of Slovakia, the Trnava region forms a territorial band between the Bratislava Region and the rest of Slovakia, between Austrian and Czech borders in the north and north-west and the Hungarian border in the south.

Largest towns are Trnava, Piešťany, Hlohovec, Dunajská Streda and Sereď.

According to the 2001 census, the region had 551,003 inhabitants, with Slovaks forming a majority (73.9%), but there is a significant Hungarian minority in the south (23.7%), forming a majority in the Dunajská Streda District (87%) and are notably represented in the Galanta District (41%).

The proximity to the capital city of Bratislava is an asset, as many Trnava residents travel daily to work there.
