Kossuth Square & Piac Street
Kossuth tér és Piac utca
The heart of Debrecen's old town: a fountain square in front of the cathedral leads to a main street lined with 19th-century buildings, with trams running through.
Kossuth Square is Debrecen's central square. The Reformed Great Church stands at its northern end, and in the middle are a Kossuth monument and a fountain that splashes in summer. Beneath the square there is an underground car park and a shopping centre. Piac Street (Market Street) runs south as the city's main axis, flanked by the County Hall, the Golden Bull Hotel and other 19th-century eclectic and Art Nouveau buildings. Tram line 1 runs right through it. The August flower carnival parade and the December Christmas market are both held here. Restaurants nearby serve Debrecen sausage and Hungarian beef goulash.
