We are happy to welcome you in Hungary’s second largest city and wish you a very good time here! Debrecen offers a rich variety of sights and programmes to its visitors who can feel the bustling life of the early 1900s and the atmosphere of a 21st-century dynamic city at the same time.
Today Debrecen is a steadily developing centre of Eastern Hungary. Its international airport connects the city with several European destinations, and it is only a two-hour drive from the capital, Budapest.
What do you need to enjoy life in a 21st-century city? Attractive sights to see, modern shopping malls, exciting cultural and sporting events, for sure. But you also need activities that offer holiday experiences without compromise. Debrecen is by no means lacking in activities of this kind. Trendy cafés and bistros are proliferating, the popularity of street food is on the rise, countless cozy terraces and other special venues are getting ready to take visitors. Your leisurely stroll in downtown Debrecen – dubbed “promenade” by locals – will be punctuated by shady green piazzas and refreshing fountains. The slightly eclectic arrangement of architectural styles as well as the streets and alleys, each hiding its very own story, will set up an enchanting atmosphere. What is also important is that Debrecen’s modern public transport including buses and trams makes it easy for the tourists to get to any place at any time.
