Debrecen provides plenty of activities during the year. The watery experiences of the latest attraction of the city, the Aquaticum Strand Waterpark, handed over last year, the newborns of the Debrecen Zoo and the iconic buildings of the historic city center provide a wonderful summer destination for holidays for all ages. For wine lovers the city does not disappoint either.
While Debrecen is not know as a wine producer, it has long supported the wine industry, bringing the very best wineries to the city for its national competition to determine the “Wine of Debrecen”. In addition the city is the gateway to one of the most impressive wine regions of Tokaj, Egri and Bukk to the North East, channeling visitors from the M3 motorway, and via Debrecen’s international airport. The city also holds its own impressive wine events.
