Parking Arrangements to Change in Debrecen During Flower Carnival

DV Parking has announced that parking arrangements and the opening hours of its customer service centre will change during carnival week. In addition, parking will be prohibited in several locations to ensure that the events can take place without disruption.

On Friday, 21 August, the usual weekday parking arrangements will apply, with parking subject to a charge in the parking spaces operated by DV Parking. The customer service centre will also be closed to customers on this day.

For the remainder of the long weekend, the usual Saturday and Sunday parking arrangements will apply in Debrecen.
