Excursion programme
Excursion to Debrecen from Uzhhorod - Hungary’s spiritual capital and a thermal getaway
An excursion to Debrecen is a journey to Hungary’s second-largest city, renowned for its freedom-loving history, majestic architecture and healing thermal waters. Debrecen combines centuries of cultural heritage, green parks, bathing in thermal pools and delicious Hungarian cuisine.
Why is an excursion to Debrecen worth it?
Debrecen has always stood out for its independent spirit - its residents refused to recognise the authority of kings and emperors. Today the city is considered:
- one of Hungary’s main spiritual centres
- a hub of Catholic and Protestant culture
- a city with a rich history and unique landmarks
- a popular thermal resort
- The programme of the excursion to Debrecen (Hungary)
05:30 - departure from Uzhhorod
Crossing the Ukrainian-Hungarian border.
On arrival, a sightseeing tour of the city begins, during which you will discover Debrecen’s most interesting locations.
The University of Debrecen
One of the city’s main gems is the University of Debrecen, the oldest operating higher-education institution in Hungary, founded in 1538.
Its monumental building with a symmetrical garden-and-park ensemble is one of the most photogenic spots in the city.
The Déri Museum
The Déri Museum, located in the centre of Debrecen, is one of Hungary’s most famous museums. Opened in 1930, it amazes visitors with the variety of its exhibitions:
- ethnography
- canvases by Mihály Munkácsy
- Egyptian sarcophagi
- ancient and Oriental art
The city’s architectural landmarks
During the excursion you will see:
- the Aranybika Hotel («Golden Bull») - Hungary’s oldest historic hotel, built in the Art Nouveau style in 1915
- St Anne’s Cathedral - an 18th-century Catholic church, a symbol of the return of Catholicism to the city
- the Reformed Great Church of Debrecen - a church-museum where you can climb the tower and view the city from above
It was from the pulpit of the Reformed Church that Lajos Kossuth proclaimed Hungary’s independence.
Debrecen’s ancient mill
The city has preserved the oldest and largest mill in Europe, a building erected back in the Middle Ages. It is a unique monument of industrial history.
The Great Forest Park (Nagyerdei park) and the Aquaticum thermal complex
Debrecen’s main natural adornment is the Great Forest Park, Hungary’s first protected area. It is here that the modern Aquaticum thermal complex is located, which includes:
- thermal pools
- a water park
- a beach zone
- saunas and a wellness centre
The healing properties of the thermal waters
The Aquaticum thermal water reaches a temperature of up to +63°C and is rich in: iodine, bromine, magnesium, sodium.
It is recommended for:
- treating the joints and musculoskeletal system
- respiratory tract conditions
- the nervous system
- general wellness
It is no coincidence that Debrecen is called «the Hungarian Mediterranean».
An excursion to Debrecen from Uzhhorod is the perfect combination of:
- history and culture
- architectural masterpieces
- a thermal getaway
- natural harmony
This tour suits those who want to see the real Hungary, relax body and soul and gather vivid memories in just one day.
The excursion to Debrecen ends at approximately 23:00.
