Central Hungary, Administrative region in Budapest, Hungary
Central Hungary is an administrative region encompassing Budapest and Pest County, serving as the country's governmental and economic center. The area is divided into the 23 districts of Budapest and multiple municipalities in Pest County, each managing local services and development initiatives.
The region was established through a 1999 administrative reform that created new statistical divisions aligned with European Union standards. This reorganization represented a key step in aligning Hungary's governance structures with EU requirements.
The region hosts renowned universities and cultural institutions that shape the country's intellectual life. These establishments attract students and professionals who daily contribute to the local academic and cultural landscape.
Visitors can start by orienting themselves in Budapest, as the city serves as the administrative hub where most services and facilities are concentrated. The municipalities in Pest County are accessible by public transportation from the capital and offer various options for day trips.
Budapest functions simultaneously as a city and as a separate administrative entity within the region, creating a distinctive dual governance structure. This arrangement allows the capital to manage its own policies independent of Pest County.
