Piliscsaba is a village in Budapest metropolitan area, Hungary, located in extreme northwestern Pest County, near the border of Komárom-Esztergom in a valley between the Buda and Pilis hills. It is accessible by Road 10 and lies on the Budapest-Esztergom rail line, 24 km (15 mi) from the center of Budapest. The surrounding hills are 200–400 meters high.
