How this list was compiled: Items made on 2026-10-01. THE COUNTY LINES ARE OLDER THAN TODAY'S: count and names are today's, the lines are the source's. The 19 counties and Budapest were read on 2026-10-01 at the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, table 22.1.2.1, resident population by county and region (https://www.ksh.hu/stadat_files/nep/en/nep0034.html, last updated 26 June 2026: Budapest and 19 counties, Csongrád-Csanád among them), and compared with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Hungary and the list of ISO 3166-2 codes for Hungary as Wikipedia prints it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:HU); every label is on all three. Tested on 2026-10-01 against the source's polygons: the Keszthely district, at the west end of Lake Balaton, is drawn in Veszprém County. It belongs to Zala County (the Statistical Office's gazetteer, https://www.ksh.hu/apps/hntr.telepules?p_id=18421: Keszthely, county Zala) and has done so again since the end of 1978 (https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keszthelyi_j%C3%A1r%C3%A1s and https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950-es_megyerendez%C3%A9s, read 2026-10-01), so on this drawing Zala has no shore on the lake. Villages that changed county later are drawn in their old county too: Veszprémvarsány, Bakonyszentlászló, Balatonvilágos, Tiszaug, Dunafalva and Szárliget were tested. The source draws 23 cities with county rights as shapes of their own; the spec draws each with the county that encloses it (tested against the source's geometry on 2026-10-01). The point of Pest County stands 8 units from the points file's, inside its shape, to leave room for the name of Budapest.

How it works

This blank map of Hungary opens on the plain outline of the country, with Lake Balaton as open water in the west. Switch Borders on for the 19 counties and Budapest, drawn with older county lines.

A plain outline first

The sheet opens with nothing inside the outline but Lake Balaton. The seven neighboring countries are drawn as plain land without names. Press Print this map for a sheet to mark cities, rivers or a route on.

The counties and Budapest

Borders adds the 19 counties and Budapest, a small shape of its own in the middle of Pest County. Numbered and Named label them. The names are today's. The lines are older: the Keszthely area, at the west end of Lake Balaton, is drawn in Veszprém County and belongs to Zala County today.

  • Typed answers without accents count in the quiz: Bekes, Fejer and Nograd are right, and so is the older name Csongrád for Csongrád-Csanád.

Questions and answers

How many counties does Hungary have?

Nineteen, plus the capital city, Budapest, which has the same rank as a county. This map numbers all 20. Bács-Kiskun, in the south, is the largest county and Komárom-Esztergom, on the northern border, the smallest.

Are the county borders on this map current?

The counties and their names are today's. The lines are older. The Keszthely area, by Lake Balaton, is drawn in Veszprém County and has been part of Zala County since the end of 1978. A few villages also sit in their old county.

Which county is Budapest in?

None. Budapest is a unit of its own, surrounded by Pest County. Pest County has its seat in Budapest all the same.

What is the lake on the map?

Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe. It lies in the west of Hungary and is drawn as open water.

Why does Csongrád-Csanád have a double name?

The county was called Csongrád until June 2020, when Csanád was added to its name. Both names count as right answers in the quiz.
