Tapolcza
Tapolcza is a small town in Hungary. As of the last census, it had 17,598 residents. I was able to translate Palyaudvar as railway station, but the hand writing on the back is just too small and indistinct to be translated by someone who doesn't actually speak Hungarian. I also need help with the postmark. I think it's from August 10, 1916, but again, the design isn't something I'm familiar with. It could also be from 1910.
If it is from 1916, this postcard would have been mailed right in the middle of World War 1. Budapest would not have been the capitol of Hungary, it would have been a city in Austria-Hungary, a country that wouldn't survive the war.
