Reviewed By istvanj_12 - Debrecen, Hungary
The main building of the University of Debrecen was built bw 1927 – 1932. When inaugurated this was the third biggest building in Hungary after the Parliament and the Castle of Buda (both to be found in the capital). It is really monumental and still serves as the home of numerous University Departments and other establishments. Its central court, a multi-storey, glass-covered atrium is a unique sight and impresses the visitor being an internationally relevant architectural gem. It is home to the regular doctoral degree award ceremonies and other celebrations. It is worth just to take a stroll within the building, or around at the carefully manicured park. You are free to discover the many adjacent old or new buildings of one of Europe’s nicest university campus.

Hortobagy is a marvellous place, the 9 hole bridge and the extra ordinary plain is inspiring. Visit during the spring or autumn bird migration and the drive in is like a bird safari. Bird Hospital Sadly many birds get hurt in the Migration But help is on hand. Whilst in Hortobagy please visit the animal park. Contrary to other reviews it IS NOT A ZOO, rather a wild bird hospital and rehabilitation Center. You can see into the operating theater, see the birds with legs and wings in splints in the indoor ward (the small will stay be hardest to forget), then see the rehabilitation cages that allow the birds to regain their strength and also a healthy fear of humans BEFORE they are released. There are all kinds from Storks to Eagles and Owls. Pay them a visit and be part of the solution! Market Excellent local market, with lots of local produce and useful and charming objects d’art including a magnificent selection of Bull whips! Csarda The Csarda (big eatery by the bridge) is lovely, great food and drinks and popular with the locals. Try the Hortobagy Pancakes with local beef as a filler. Nice and filling and supportive of the farming collective that maintains the Puszta.
4. Great Church (Nagytemplom)

As you enter the downtown area of Debrecen it is massive and impossible to miss. It is the largest Protestant Church in Hungary and it has the largest Bell of the Protestant Churches in Hungary. That is why Debrecen is called the Calvinist Rome. There were several churches which were destroyed, one before the present church burned during the Great Fire that destroyed Debrecen in 1802 and the construction of this Great Church started in 1805. The capacity is for 5000 people. The towers are 61 meters high. It is worth visiting.

It's a quiet, calm place in the centre of the town, near the Spa. Before Christmas it was decorated with christmas trees and a reindeer with a sledge. It's got a special atmosphere especially in the evening when everything is illuminated. There are some cafes and restaurants nearby. we liked walking there.

To the advise of our landlord we took a bus instead of driving to this park. There are trolleys and buses that take you there and it was easy and relaxed short trip. We noticed how many people, including families who chose to go to the park riding their bikes. Bike riders have priority when crossing a street in Hungary and drivers are extremely aware of them. Some bike riders don't even look at the traffic and they cross the roads and the drivers just make a full stop. Very friendly for bike riders the entire country. Free admission to the park ( no bikes inside of course) and a fantastic atmosphere. There were stands from different parts of Europe with food, so there was a lot to choose. An area of beers only, local food, deserts, ice cream, other beverages, candy, souvenirs. Of course this is a small forest in the middle of the city with several very large man-made ponds. Now the amazing thing to me was the incredibly large number of koi fish, I have never seen so many koi at once, there were for sure millions, even some over a foot long. Just unbelievable. People feed them freely bread and nobody complains, there are no signs of not to feed them and the koi just love to be fed. The competition between the koi and ducks for food is just incredible. The koi are on top of each other bringing their little mouths off the water, the ducks are swimming at full speed when a little something lands close to where they are, it is just amazing to see. Locals bring bread from home just for this activity and of course little children get to throw bread and watch this show. The walkways in the park are beautifully tiled, wide and nicely curved. There is an amphitheatre and that evening there was a show. A tribute to the Beattles. I would go back to this park any time. Debrecen is a great city.

It was a wonder. This zoo is very small, but the staff is more than very enthusiastic. They love the animals and they are kind and smiling people. Lovely visit.
