Hungary has 3,152 [[municipalities]] as of 15 July 2013: 346 towns (Hungarian term: {{Lang|hu|város}}, plural: {{Lang|hu|városok}}; the terminology does not distinguish between [[city|cities]] and [[town]]s – the term town is used in official translations) and 2,806 villages (Hungarian: {{Lang|hu|község}}, plural: {{Lang|hu|községek}}) which fully cover the territory of the country. The number of towns can change, since villages can be elevated to town status by act of the president. Budapest has a special status and is not included in any county while 23 of the towns are so-called urban counties ({{Lang|hu|megyei jogú város}} – town with county rights). All county seats except Budapest are urban counties. 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.<ref name="portal">{{cite web|title=portal.ksh.hu/portal/page?_pageid=37,412178&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL#sett|url=http://portal.ksh.hu/portal/page?_pageid=37,412178&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL#sett|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060319223706/http://portal.ksh.hu/portal/page?_pageid=37,412178&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL#sett|archive-date=19 March 2006|access-date=23 January 2021|website=portal.ksh.hu}}</ref> The largest city is Budapest.
