Debrecen in Hungary
Getting there
By car
It can be easily accessed from Budapest by driving on M3 highway and then M35 (about at 186 km sign) highway but vignette is required(it is about 2 hours). Or follow the main road 4 from Budapest or anywhere except east (more than 3 hours travel from Budapest), but it is not recommended because main road 4 is overcrowded and accidents are usual. shopping center
By plane
There is an airport http://www.airportdebrecen.hu/index.php?lang=en, but its traffic is not very high. There is already a cheap-flight company which flies to München, Germany, so via that Debrecen can be reached from all Europe. It is planned to extend the air traffic through involving more cheap-flight companies. Charter flights come regularly to the airport.
Getting around
Driving
Roads are okay. The city is small enough though that you could easily get around by foot or by public transportation.
Public transportation
Public transport uses local tickets. Don't try to use Budapest tickets; they won't work.
The tram http://www.dkv.hu/ carries people to the most visited places. It starts from the Train station, goes along the main street, turns at the Grand Church a bit, goes to the Old Forest, the Zoo, Theme Park and Public Bath, then around to meet the Universities, then back. A cheap way to see most of the city is to get a ticket at the train station, get on, and enjoy the trip until you're back where you started.
Bus http://www.hajduvolan.hu/ lines are fair. You may expect to be able to reach nearby places fast.
Walking
Many nice streets around. Many ugly ones. Test your luck.
Try Nagyerdő (the Big Forest): it is still beautiful.
