Administrative divisions of Hungary

There are currently several types of administrative divisions of Hungary; these include:

There are seven statistical regions of Hungary created in 1999 by the Law 1999/XCII amending Law 1996/XXI. Regions are groupings of the 19 counties and the capital city.[1]
Hungary is subdivided administratively into 19 counties (vármegyék, singular: vármegye) and the capital city (főváros) Budapest. The capital Budapest is subdivided into 23 districts (kerületek, singular: kerület).[2][1][3]
The districts of Hungary are the second-level divisions within Hungary after counties. The counties are subdivided into 174 districts (járások, singular: járás). these replaced the 175 subregions of Hungary in 2013.[4]

  • Administrative divisions of the Kingdom of Hungary
