Hungary Address Format
Hungarian postal addresses run recipient, street, then postal code + city on one line, with the postal code always preceding the city name. The house number follows the street name and ends with a period (e.g. 'Andrássy út 60.'), and the street-type word (utca, út, tér) comes after the street name. Hungarians write personal names family-name-first (Kovács István); the county (megye) is not written in postal addresses.
