Oradea, Regional capital in northwestern Romania.

The city extends along both banks of the Crisul Repede River, featuring wide boulevards lined with Art Nouveau and Baroque buildings from the 18th century.

The fortress of Oradea, constructed between 1114 and 1131, endured Tatar attacks in 1241 before its reconstruction under the Corvinus dynasty in the 1400s.

The State Theatre, Philharmonic Orchestra, and multiple religious buildings, including three synagogues, reflect the multicultural character of this Romanian city.

The international airport connects Oradea with European destinations while local transportation includes an extensive network of buses and trams.

The Black Eagle Palace contains a glass-covered passage with intricate iron decorations and houses numerous small shops in its arcade.

What to see in Romania: medieval towns, Transylvania castles, painted monasteries

Romania encompasses historic towns where medieval squares, Orthodox churches, and royal palaces are found. Bucharest, the capital, hosts the Parliament Palace and religious buildings like the 18th-century Stavropoleos Church. In Transylvania, Brașov preserves its 14th-century city walls, and Sibiu features its cobbled streets lined with old houses. Further north, Bukovina contains Orthodox monasteries adorned with Renaissance exterior frescoes. The Romanian territory also offers mountain landscapes and diverse natural sites. The Transfăgărășan road crosses the Carpathians at over 2000 meters altitude, linking two historic regions. Bran Castle and Peles Castle, perched in the mountains, showcase defensive and royal architecture. The saline lakes of Ocna Sibiului and thermal centers like Therme București highlight the country's natural resources. The Danube Delta completes this collection of destinations to explore.
