It’s easy to enjoy family experiences in Debrecen in winter too: here are a few tips for fun and rejuvenating family adventures in Debrecen. Even in winter, the city is full of programs where children can learn through play or immerse themselves in fairy-tale worlds, and parents can finally relax. It’s worth planning for several days: the best winter experiences are sure to become family favorites.
Debrecen Bicycle Museum
Debrecen’s first permanent bicycle exhibition opened from the private collection of veteran bicycle collector and restorer Attila Katona. The museum is a real “wow experience” for young and old alike. The exhibition features nearly 100 bicycles and takes visitors on a journey from the past to the present, as if watching a film: from the very first balance bikes to special, rare pieces.
Tip: combine it with a walk in the city center, hot chocolate, and pastries – and your winter mini-trip is ready.
Guided tours are also organized for groups.
