    This is also part of the city’s history. Ortodox church is interesting. Not an ordinary name invites you to visit this church.

    The Oradea State Theater is absolutely gorgeous both on the outside and in the inside.

    If you end up visiting Oradea and you are lucky enough to catch a play in that timeframe, make sure you buy tickets. I bet you won’t regret it!

    Not much to see, a small fortress with some museums and an art gallery. A nice place to go for a walk while in the city of Oradea.

    Visited not expecting much but for a couple of rooms it really creates an insightful image of how upper class citizens used to live during the Belle Epoque.

    The City Hall and it's clock tower are worth seeing if in Oradea. Impossible to miss if you go for a walk near Piața Unirii.

    Beautiful church, nice decoration, but a bit dark inside. outside you can spend some time in front where a park is. Go in spring when magnolia is blooming and you will be delighted to sped a few minutes there.

    A nice place to stop for 20-30 minutes. The interior is as beaufitul as the exterior of the synagogue. for a small fee (10 lei = 2 euro aprox) you can see the inside with the beautiful cupola. take the stairs to see from up also.

    Great view over the City! We intended to have a coffee at the top of the Hill But Sunday morning al 11:00 it was closed. You can get there by car or - the best way- by foot But you need to get up a lot of stairs But it was a nice power walk

    After visiting the Valencia Bioparc I had aquired high standards for zoo's but Oradea Zoo surprised me in a very good way (unlike the slaugtherhouse from Timisoara city ). Visited on 11 Aug 2023 , 22 lei ticket (4 euros!!) , for the 1.5 year old baby the entrance was free . It was clean , large but not too large , animals looked well and being taken good care of .The Zoo has some interesting policies you can 'sponsor' animals (support $ , feed and take care for an animal for one year ) , you can buy food on site and feed the animals , there is a mausoleum there , interesting souvenir shop , lots of clean toilets , benches and places where you can enjoy a snack , there are some shops with candies and toys and other activities for children , staff is ok . All in all , a good 3-4 hours visit . The large cats are expecially well kept and looked after . Would recommend and revisit .

    I realy liked the temporary painting exhibition on the ground floor. And all the portre pictures,so many beautiful people. On the 1st floor was everything just heart breaking. But how it was presented was beautiful. Loved the bicicle,and the story behind it. And the facts about Oradea,and the jewish families stories. And all those names on the wall...and the dissapearing drawings!
    Truly emotionaly mooving place.
