How safe is Debrecen?

Like every other city, Debrecen also has its rougher, more run-down neighborhoods. Fortunately, these areas make up only a small part of the city, and even they are generally considered safe during the day. At night, I would avoid them when alone, but elsewhere in Debrecen I feel perfectly safe walking alone even in the early hours of the morning.

It's a safe place for girls, more than Budapest, for example. I never heard that someone experienced something bad here. However, Nagyallomas, which is the train station, is not safe at night. It is full of drunk people.

There is a lots of hospital and police stadion. You can walk alone at night without worring about robbers. Some of the people are so kind and helpful. It's easy to navigate the city. There are taxis and bus, so you can use public transport.

Is Debrecen worth visiting?

I was in Debrecen, Hungary for a volunteer I did. I stayed about 6 months and the truth gave me time to know how people are, culture, customs, meals, etc. The truth is that the experience was quite improvable, the organization that "hired me" for volunteering was a disaster. I had difficult times but I also had a good time (outside the volunteer hours). Together with other volunteers we met Budapest, Tokaj, and other parts of Hungary. Sincerely, the Hungarian diet is bad, they eat everything with fat and that, but they explained that it was part of their history. People are, I don't know how to say it, something reluctant to foreigners in Debrecen. I mean, they are nice and such, but hey, you don't always meet kind people. And it is true that there are but not so much.

About Me

Hey girls! 💖 I’m Kira, 18 years old. I believe the purpose of our life on Earth is self-fulfillment—to shape our personality, appearance, and environment in a way that allows us to be truly happy, capable of growth, and at peace by following the path of Jesus. One of the most important steps toward that is collecting memories and experiences, discovering unknown adventures and challenges. I think this app helps make those easier to find—so that’s why I joined. I can’t really describe myself in a consistent way, because honestly, I often need to readjust even to myself. I’m very multifaceted—just look at my photos and the many hair colors I’ve had! I think I’ve had at least 15 different shades, and that number is only going to grow. I try to fully enjoy this journey of finding myself and look at everything as positively and idealistically as I can. At the same time, I’m also determined and ambitious.
