Tourist information
by Mique
At the moment there is still no tourist information agency in Oradea. And getting hold of what there is to see and do is rather difficult. People start direction you straight out of Oradea. The couple of times i asked the first thing people came up with was visiting Baile Felix, a rather famous Spa. Which made me wonder since Oradea has quite a lot to offer as well.
In the bookshop ' Mihai Eminescu' in Poynar House (Piata Regele Ferdinand, opposite Calea Republicii) you can buy a leaflet with information on several of the important buildings in Oradea and a small but indispensible streetmap. All in english so highly usefull Updated 2005: The bookstore no longer exists here. But there are other bookstores that have the same or similar information. So check them out. There is a big one in Republicii and a smaller bookstore in the Crisul stores. There are more but these are easy to find.
Bottled Water
by actor22_2000
Batteries, extra tapes for cam recorder. Bottled Water if traveling with a baby or child or boil tap water.
It is very difficult to find water that is not mineral and it can cause huge gas problems on their little stomachs.
( This is from experience)
- the most important street in Oradea: "Republicii
by Gabor1965
- The Republicii street is the most important street in Oradea, it is only a walking street.
In the past when I was a child , there was a tram line on this street. (It is unbeliveble)
You will find a lot of shops, restaurants, bars, pubs, souvenir shops, etc..
- unfortunetly I don't know the name of the street in Hungarian.
- every tourist who come to Oradea it's first place to visit is this street, it's so obvious
Vila Darvas-La Roche
by oradea_dream
Cladirea, a carei planuri au fost semnate de fratii Vago, a fost construita intre anii 1910 si 1911 de Sztarill Ferencz. Influentele vieneze ale lui Josef Olbrich si ale maestrului acesta sint de remarcat in fatada cladirii, precum si arcada parabaolica de la intrare. Finisajul este de factura asemanatoare.
Unirii Square
by edvin_br
It was built to the honor of the Romania history. The square as some benches and some green plants and if you want to sit down and relax it is the place.
The square is also close to the Moon church, the Black Eagle Palace and to the City Hall.
