About Debrecen

They used to say "who in their sane mind would build a city in the middle of nowhere where there are no mountains, forests, water or roads?" Still, the answer is a mystery, but Debrecen is the second (or third, depends on the census) largest city of Hungary. It used to be Europe's largest Calvinist city (it was called "The Calvinist Rome"), and the Great Church (Nagytemplom) is a reminder of the city's heritage. Debrecen also has a university with the beautiful main building. 🌍Tourinform Debrecen,Piac u. 20,☏+36 52 412250,fax:+36 52 535323,debrecen@tourinform.hu.M-F 09:00-17:00, Sa 9:00-13:00, Sunday: closed (Jul-Aug weekdays until 18:00).
