Hungary: Nyíregyháza

Today I got two postcards: my first card from Hungary (60th country) and one from Japan.

Hungary is a country in Central Europe bordering on Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria. Hungary is a member of the EU, of the NATO, of the OECD and of the UN. Hungary's capital is Budapest.

The card is a multiview from Nyíregyháza. Nyíregyháza is the seventh largest city in Hungary. One of the pictures shows a polar bear at the Nyíregyháza Zoo. The Zoo is recognised throughout Europe and is a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA). On the card is also a map of Hungary coloured in the colours of the Hungarian flag with the location of Nyíregyháza. 


Stamps:
Chair (from set of six) (issued 30-06-2000)
EUROPA (from set of two) (issued 03-05-2013)
It is a nice addition for my collection of EUROPA stamps.


Thank You very much Ferenc!
