Debrecen is connected to the national highway system by the motorway M35. From Budapest, follow M3 towards Nyíregyháza and then the M35 (diverge near the 186 km sign). A highway toll applies, and it had to be paid in advance (at most gas stations, price is about Ft 3000 for a regular car for 10 days.) It is about a 2-hour drive. Main road 4 is somewhat shorter, but it is not recommended because it is often overcrowded (hence much slower) and accidents are not uncommon.

There are many nice streets around, though there are many less attractive ones as well. Try your luck.

Nagyerdő (the Big Forest) is beautiful.

Public transport uses local tickets that cost Ft 350 (or Ft 450 if you buy it on the bus). Don't try to use Budapest tickets; they won't work.

The 'DKV' runs two tram, five trolleybus and sixty bus lines in Debrecen.

The tram carries people to the most frequently visited places. It starts at the railway station, goes along the main street, turns at the Great Church a bit, goes to the Old Forest, the Zoo, Theme Park and Public Bath, then around to meet the universities, and then back. A cheap way to see most of the city is to get a ticket at the train station, get on, and enjoy the trip until you're back where you started.

Bus lines are good, in that you can reach nearby places fast.

There are three main taxi companies in the city: Bolt taxi City Taxi Debrecen and Főnix Taxi, both have mobile apps.

Roads are okay. The city is small enough though that you could easily get around by foot or by public transportation.
