List of cities and towns of Hungary

{{Short description|None}}

File:Hungary local administration.png

Hungary has 3,152 municipalities as of July 15, 2013: 346 towns (Hungarian term: {{Lang|hu|város}} {{IPA|hu|ˈvaːroʃ||Hu-város.ogg}}, plural: {{Lang|hu|városok}} {{IPA|hu|ˈvaːroʃok|}}; the terminology does not distinguish between cities and towns – the term town is used in official translations) and 2,806 villages (Hungarian: {{Lang|hu|község}} {{IPA|hu|ˈkøʃːeːɡ|}}, plural: {{Lang|hu|községek}} {{IPA|hu|ˈkøʃːeːɡɛk|}}) of which 126 are classified as large villages (Hungarian: {{Lang|hu|nagyközség}} {{IPA|hu|ˈnɒckøʃːeːɡ|}}, plural: {{Lang|hu|nagyközségek}}). The number of towns can change, since villages can be elevated to town status by act of the President. The capital Budapest has a special status and is not included in any county while 25 of the towns are so-called cities with county rights. All county seats except Budapest are cities with county rights.

Four of the cities (Budapest, Miskolc, Győr, and Pécs) have agglomerations, and the Hungarian Statistical Office distinguishes seventeen other areas in earlier stages of agglomeration development.{{cite web |url=http://portal.ksh.hu/portal/page?_pageid=37,412178&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL#sett |title=Ter leti atlasz - Interakt v tematikus |website=portal.ksh.hu |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060319223706/http://portal.ksh.hu/portal/page?_pageid=37,412178&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL |archive-date=2006-03-19}}
