Four Days in Oradea  

Day 2

• Divide this day in two: fun at Aquapark Nymphaea and a history lesson at Oradea Fortress. You choose the order, according to your whim. Keep in mind, however, that both attractions are a "must-see" for a weekend in Oradea.     

• Inside the Fortress, there are two museums to explore and a lot of interesting exhibitions that you can wander around, also suitable for children. We also recommend the Griffon Hall, the astronomical observatory, or a magical sunset in the Fortress Park. The atmosphere here is perfect for your holiday album.

• How about a less formal dinner? Restaurants and pubs around Union Square and Vasile Alecsandri Street offer not only great food but also a vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff to have a chat with. The fun can go on till late into the night with tasty cocktails, good music, and local stories. Enjoy!

Day 3

• The early bird gets the worm – or as Romanians say, “He who wakes up early in the morning, walks far.” We recommend that you have a full and energizing breakfast early, while you prepare your mindset for a day full of adrenaline from outdoor activities.       

• Take 4 to 8 hours for memorable experiences near Oradea. You can choose to visit some of the most attractive caves in the tourist circuit of the country, a hike or a bike ride up in the hills and mountains, trail running along the many marked trails, a photography tour with professional photographers, rafting on the speedy rivers, or the already iconic Via Ferrata.       

• Do you want an unforgettable lunch in the middle of nature? We suggest that you stop in one of the villages in Craiului Forest - here you will find traditional dishes as if you were eating in a Romanian family home.       

• When you return to Oradea, we guarantee you will be pleasantly exhausted. The best thing you can do is to book a massage session at the hotel’s spa or in one of the many spas in the city. Don't forget that you are in the paradise of geothermal waters, thus it would be a great shame not to take full advantage of this. 😉       

• For a light evening snack, you can choose one of the restaurants in the old town or you can confidently call the food delivery services for a quiet evening in your room. But after such a full day, we feel you might want to go for a full dinner! 

Day 4

• After your (late) check-out, you still have enough time for a bike ride. You can rent one in the city centre and cruise at leisure speed on the banks of Crișul Repede river, admiring the city along the way.

• Breathe in the fresh air of the city, while pedalling through the open-air #ArtNouveau museum.       

• Along the way, stop at a cosy café, or have a chat with the locals. You should know that the people of Oradea are warm and friendly, and it is for the reason that the expression #VeselCaUnOrădean (“cheerful as an Oradea dweller”) has become of common use for most Romanians. 

• If you want to take a souvenir back home, you can go for a short "shopping spree" in the authentic local stores or at one of the shopping centres in the city.       

• Let us guess! Now, you are already thinking about the people with whom you will visit Oradea again. It's the right time to book your next #HolidayInOradea. 😊
