Overview
Debrecen's main pedestrian artery stretches about 1 km from the train station to the Great Reformed Church, lined with cafes, restaurants, shops, and Baroque buildings. The name 'Piac' means 'market,' reflecting its role as the commercial heart of Debrecen since the Middle Ages. Modern fountains and sculptures dot the street, and seasonal cultural events enliven it year-round. It's also the main route for the August Flower Carnival parade. Free and open.
