Debrecen: a liveable town

With about 400 000 inhabitants in the agglomeration (about the size of Grenoble), Debrecen offers at the same time the educational, cultural, recreational, industrial and economic opportunities of major urban centres and the ease of moving around the whole city within 10 or 20 minutes by the well developed public transport system, by car or even by bicycle.
These conditions provide for a high quality of life for families of all background, including an easily accessible day-care system and local schools to provide internationally accredited education for children of all ages in a good variety of the major languages (by now English, French, German, Italian and Spanish).


Debrecen is easily accessible by train, road or motorway. It is well connected to the busy international airport of Budapest by a just completed seamless motorway connection (90 min. travel time) and direct trains (2 hours). It also has a newly Schengen certified international airport with plans to start scheduled flights to major European hubs
