Both in the city and near to the city you have the possibility to drop into nice, warm water. Inside the city you can find two easily accessible thermal spa resorts: Strandul Iosia, Strandul Municipal. You can enter them pretty cheaply and you can find both cold and warm water, relaxation, recreation and activity. Outside the city there is a more famous spa resort, called Baile Felix. It lies at about 4 km distance from Nagyvárad/Oradea. Here you can find more hotels, several bath places and a brand new aquapark. Of course the prices here are higher than in the city, though not too high for a traveler from west. This small resort lies near the woods, so after bathing you can take a walk there and eat dinner at a fancy hotel or restaurant.

Friday nights they have an English Speaking Club that meets. All meetings take place at the Ady Endre High School near the Theatre and is easy to find. This is a nice group of people who like to polish up on their English and it is a great way to make friends during your stay. They are happy to except you into the meeting and it usually ends at a local bar :-)

Ask around for Public Events such as Concerts and Festivals. Several times during my visit they had outdoor events happening that can be fun and cheap. great place for people watching, local food and music. I was at a very nice Hungarian Festival at the Fortress. had a great time and found a couple who made puppets to sell....great stuff!
