City in Hungary

Debrecen

4 things to see

Debrecen is Hungary’s second city on the Great Plain, with a huge Reformed Great Church, an affordable thermal bath, and a more local feel than Budapest. The main square and the area around the church are free to wander, prices for food and rooms run lower than in the capital, and a soak at the thermal bath stays cheap. It makes an easy budget stop on the eastern side of the country, away from the tourist crush.
