Hungary is a landlocked country in the Carpathian Basin in Central Europe. Its capital is Budapest. The official and vernacular language is Hungarian, which is part of the Finno-Ugric family, thus one of the four official languages of the European Union that are not of Indo-European origin. Until recently, it was listed as one of the 15 most popular tourist destinations in the world. It attracts about 7 million visitors a year. The country is home to the largest thermal water cave system and the second largest thermal lake in the world (Lake Hévíz), the largest lake in Central Europe (Lake Balaton), and the largest natural grasslands in Europe (Hortobágy).

Thank you Krisztina!

I won my first lottery in Postcrossing forum! Ezqi from Turkey sent me a Budapest card. Budapest is the capital of Hungary. As the largest city of Hungary, it serves as the country's principal political, cultural, commercial, industrial, and transportation centre. In 2010, Budapest had 1,721,556 inhabitants, down from 1980 peak of 2.06 million. Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with a unification on 17 November 1873 of right (west)-bank Buda and Óbuda with left (east)-bank Pest. ( source ) Thank you Ezqi!
