Facts and practical information

Nagykovácsi is a small town in the Pilisvörösvári kistérség district of Hungary situated some 15 km north-west of the centre of Budapest, in a valley, at an altitude of 340 metres. It is located next to the second district of Budapest. According to the 2011 census, its population was given as 7095, though this figure does not include the many people who own a property there as a second residence. The town is known for its scenic setting in surrounding hills and forests, and some of the nearby forests have been designated conservation areas—Budai Tájvédelmi Körzet —in order to protect several rare species of flora growing there. Its location has contributed to the town's development in recent years. The American International School of Budapest chose Nagykovácsi as the site for its new campus in 2000. ()
