One of Debrecenās oldest streets is named after fullers and other practitioners of the wool trade who inhabited these quarters in the 15th century. The section closest to downtown is a popular shopping street and pedestrian zone. The neighborhood includes the Big Market, Flower Market, the FĆ³rum Shopping Mall, the City Music School as well as several watering holes including Debrecenās first āruin pubā, the Roncs Bar. Another attractive feature is the spectacular fountain display.
Do & See
You will never completely take in Debrecen unless you climb the tower of Reformed Big Church, or try to lift a āgerundiumā at the Reformed College. You must see the ālĆcium tree,ā probably the humblest symbol of the Reformed faith, as well as St. Anneās Cathedral, seat of the Catholic Bishop, based, ironically enough, in āCalvinist Rome.ā True, you can get insights into Debrecenās past and form predictions about its future strolling in the cityās streets and squares at your leisure. However, you wonāt see the whole picture until you check out the excellent exhibits at TĆmĆ”rhĆ”z, the DĆ©ri Museum, Medgyessy Ferenc Memorial Museum or Modem Museum of Modern & Contemporary Art. Donāt let these adventures into the realms of history and art prevent you from tasting a nice plate of Debrecen double sausage. Have you explored the historic city center, discovered the Big Market, and mapped the small downtown piazzas, whiled away some time on the terraces and at Roncs Bar? Why donāt you kick back and enjoy the pleasures of Big Forest? Pamper yourself at Aquaticum Pleasure Bath, relax at the Spa, or go for a swim at Debrecen Swimming Complex, the main venue of 2012 European Swimming Championships. Take a stroll in Nagyerdei Park, which was completely redesigned in 2014. Check out the walkways dotted with spectacular water attractions. Try some of the rides at Nagyerdei Theme Park, or sign up for fun classes at Agora Scientific Adventure Center, located on UDās campus. Round off you sightseeing tour with a mouthwatering dinner at a fine-dining restaurant, a show at Csokonai National Theater, or a classical music concert by KodĆ”ly Philharmonic Orchestra. Sports junkies can also get their adrenaline rush by rooting for local soccer heroes at Nagyerdei Arena, while young folks can have a great time in the countryās biggest club, the Hall.
