Debrecen’s first and most famous street preserves its history in its name – from the 16th century to the present day, for 300 years the famous Debrecen fairs were held here. Piac Street took on its present appearance at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, a period when Debrecen’s architecture was characterised by a wave of large-scale construction projects.
The former single-storey houses, almost exclusively on the ground floor, were replaced by two-, three- and multi-story buildings, built by the city, financial institutions, and other investors. The turn-of-the-century palaces, as the people of Debrecen, called the multi-storey buildings erected at the turn of the century, and the merchants’ houses from earlier centuries, have a wealth of local historical and architectural value. Walking along Piac Street from the Reformed Church to the Great Station, it is worth taking a closer look at these buildings, which not only tell a lot about the history of the city but also give an insight into the world of architecture.

The largest traditional, gastronomic, cultural and tourist event in the Lake Tisza region will be held for four days between 7th-10th July.
The history of the Tiszafüred Fish Days goes back more than four decades. The first fish “folk festival” was organised in 1978 with the aim of bringing Tiszafüred and the surrounding villages together. The organisers were keen to ensure that the event’s programme both respected and made the most of the beautiful natural surroundings. Gastronomy deserves a special chapter in the history of the Fish Days, as the whole series of events is based on the tradition of preparing fish dishes and the Tisza fish soup, which was declared a Hungaricum in 2017 on the initiative of Tiszafüred. The region’s largest traditional, gastronomic, cultural, and tourist event will be held over four days from 7th to 10th July. This year the City of Debrecen is the guest of honour of the event.
