Qibla direction in Hungary
The Qibla in Hungary lies towards the south-east. Depending on the city the angle from true north ranges from 135.7° in Nagykanizsa to 146.0° in Mátészalka, and the Kaaba is between 3,266 km and 3,583 km away. The table gives the exact bearing for 89 cities.
Stand facing true north, then turn clockwise by the angle of your city. A phone compass shows magnetic north, which in Hungary can differ from true north by a few degrees; our Qibla finder corrects this automatically when your phone reports true heading.
Why the Qibla changes across the country
Between the cities in the table the Qibla angle varies by 10.3°. Makó is the closest to the Kaaba (3,266 km) and Sopron the farthest (3,583 km). The farther apart two cities are, the more their bearings to Makkah diverge, which is why the angle of the capital, 140.1°, should not be used everywhere.
Inside a mosque, the mihrab already shows the Qibla. Elsewhere, a compass app, the position of the sun or our Qibla finder can be used; scholars agree that facing the general direction is enough when the exact angle cannot be known.
