Debrecen, Historic cultural center in Eastern Hungary.

Debrecen extends across the Northern Great Plain region, featuring broad boulevards, classical architecture, and the monumental Reformed Great Church at its center point.

The city served as Hungary's capital twice: during the 1848-1849 revolution against Habsburg rule and near the end of World War II in 1944-1945.

The Reformed College, established in 1538, maintains its position as a leading educational institution through the University of Debrecen with 31,458 students across 14 faculties.

The city contains four industrial parks spanning 1,200 hectares, accommodating major manufacturing facilities from companies including BMW, Krones, and ThyssenKrupp.

Every August, the Flower Carnival transforms the streets with elaborate floral compositions, drawing thousands of spectators to witness the parade of botanical artworks.
