Visiting Oradea, Romania | Hidden Gem in Europe!

- We were not expecting to love Oradea as much as we did! In fact, when we arrived on the train station, we found ourselves wondering if it was a mistake to come. But as soon as we arrived in the city center, we could tell that there was something special about this Romanian city. We are convinced that this is a hidden gem in Europe!

#Oradea #Romania #Travel
Good to know that foreigners visiting Romania don't just stay in Bucharest all the time.
Definitely! We were all over the place in Romania - Bucharest, Constanta, Brasov, Sibiu, Cluj and Oradea!
@@JackandGabExplore Nice to hear 🙂
@@JackandGabExplore Iasi looks great to got an amazing place called Palace of Culture Iasi u could google it :) and the city looks great in general .
Same with a much smaller town called Sinaia got an amazing castle Called Peles castle voted in top 10 most beautifeales castles in the world.
@@JackandGabExplore how it comes no Timișoara?
Jack and Gab Explore Try Iași too. And Bucovina
The Way you said Oradea made me smile 😬
LOL We are so American! We thought we were saying it right the whole time
@@JackandGabExplore haha, not even close 😂
nu. fost prosti
Do You LIKE my city?
Yeah, Oradea is a very weird way to say Nagyvárad or Grosswardein. 😁 (Just kidding, but this city is really so multi-cultural that is has so many names.)
Oradea is my favourite city of Romania
Ours too! It's so awesome :)
I live there

Romania is awesome. I've just been to Transylwania. Amazing place!
It's always nice too see clips like these where we, the locals, can see our country through your eyes. Thumbs up!
YAY! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Beautiful! I will come back soon to my home country! Me and all my family! Love from Denver, USA🇺🇸🇷🇴
We love Denver - such a great city. Hope you have an amazing trip back to your home country! Romania is a special place. ❤
By far, one of the most beautiful, clean and well organized city in Romania.
Because it’s Hungarian ...
@@pleasenohate7505 you eating shit
@@pleasenohate7505 shut up, its romanian now
Nah, he's right. The world is all hungarian now.
@@pleasenohate7505 no, the city was very ugly 10 years ago, until a very good Romanian mayor renovated and rebuilt the city, in Romania UDMR is the only Hungarian party and it is very corrupt, the cities managed by them are in ruins
I'm from Oradea!
I'm glad you liked it! I hope you'll come back!😄😍
SȘi io is din Oradea
Fain :))
Si eu sunt din Oradea
Si eeeeu :)
Same
Oradea has 200.000 inhabitants...so is not "pretty small" :-)
comparativ cu orasele lor ....
@@sergiukawa Daca vin din China, Brazilia sau India poate. In rest pt Europa nu e un oras mic. Din cate stiu in lb engleza exista conceptul de "Town" orice intre 10000 si 100.000 locuitori si "City" cam ce e peste. In rest materialul e bun pt ca au cuprin cam tot ce e de vazut in afara de Palatul si Catedrala Baroc.
Lmao de ce oftici fara motiv
Oradea e un oras destul de mic, il stiu pe de rost
@@ISPRI2011 sau cetatea oradea :D
@@leftoverteeth5764 asa e, ai timp sa faci de toate peste tot ... intr-o singura zi ...deci da ...orasel mic
The "Art Nouveau City" is also a hidden gem for many Romanians... Just visited Oradea this summer and looks great!
Oradea pretty amazing
Glad you liked it. One of the best looking cities in Romania and Eastern Europe.
It's Northen Europe
@@denispantea2556 dude are you high? I live here. Take a geography course
Maybe central Europe?
@@AlexanderGeorge
Well yourself need to refresh your knowledge as Romania is not in East Europe..but central..,
It used to be called the east block of communism..you were not alive yet ? Study...
I live in Oradea and I am super happy to see some new people visiting our town❤❤
Yes it was a beautiful city! We love it there :)
I'm an American and lived in Oradea for a year as an expat! It is a wonderful city full of culture and great people. I'm in Ireland now so if you guys come to Limerick, Ireland let me know and I'll show you around.
So cool that you actually lived there. We'd love to visit Ireland so we'll let you know if we're even in Limerick...thanks for the offer!
James Conner, Do many people in Oradea speak English?
@@tj5308 yes
Please go to Timisoara. I am from timisoara and it is a very historical place full of church, old constructions, castels and sculptures. Is the bigest patrimonium in Romania. So drink oldest beer in Romania.
how long will if take from Bucharest to Timasora ny train.
Thank you guys for this nice video of my hometown. After visiting 65+ countries, I really appreciate my cozy hometown so much.
Thanks and safe travels!
Nothing like traveling to make you appreciate home! Really glad you enjoyed the video. Safe travels to you, too!
So proud to see so many people enjoying Oradea. Is super cool. Definitely my hometown is the best city from Romania. Thank you guys for this video. Hugs and kisses from UK ✌🤗😍😘
Well actually i live here and i can tell that is the most touristic city in the Romania , just like a best seller :))
Not really, Brașov is cooler to visit
@@DareDevil0748 hell naw
Bucharest, Brasov and Cluj are the most touristic cities in Romania...
@@Clone308 but Brasov is nothing like oradea
Late Huhy it is better than Oradea for sure, Brasov is the gateway to the Carpathians and to the Bran Castle and to the every cool mountain view. The old town in Brasov is worth visiting because of arhitecture and its beauty
Like who lives in Oradea
Like me. I don't really recommend this town as tourist attraction.
@@dzsemx why
La Turcu is great, but I recommend the pizzas. They are the best in the area. Not sure which restaurant is the best right now, i usually eat in a tiny place called Giganti next to a car wash, and it's great.
i live in Oradea
Eu
I love you, guys!...you`re very optimistic and happy ! We are waiting for you again in Romania !
Thank you so much! We had an incredible time in Romania and can't wait to come back :)
I am a Romanian and live in Oradea, it's a really nice place to visit especially in the winter There is a huge festival with famous Romanian singers , traditional Romanian food , outdoor ice-skating ring and fairies wheel . But of course it is also lovely in the summer . Totally recomend!! 👍👌
Oradea my home town. I miss Oradea every day . is in my heart forever is the most beautiful city in Rominia
I have been looking for just such a place to retire (from the US). The areas you showed us seem so well-maintained. Definitely on my "short list"
Thanks for bringing the beauty of Oradea to me. The architecture is superb & clearly evident is the pride Romanians take in their town. I didn't even see a sweet paper on the floor! I'm planning to visit Romania next year (with only 2 days in Bucharest) and the rest travelling to different parts. I shall add this to my list. The only thing missing for me was some more cultural aspects to the town.
im planning to do the same in September or Febuary next year
This is like the first video ive seen on CZcams about Oradea, im super glad to see that people actually recognize what a pretty place it is...also fun fact:Oradea's theatre is an exact replica of the one in Vienna, but ofc smaller :D
Oh, thanks! I knew I had seen it before but could not remember where! 😂
Wow.. I live in this city and didn't even realize how beautiful it was.. I guess because I grew up in it I got used to seeing it and didn't consider it that fancy but wow..
I'm from Oradea and I'm so glad that you came here!!
It's my hometown Oradea. I love you. It's the best. 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
Bravo! Felicitări,! ( un vampir din Brașov) Transilvania, România!
HI FROM ROMANIA !!!🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴❤
The architecture is so amazing because it's Art Nouveau - 1900 built buildings :) Glad you had a great time here!❤
1900 when still 90% of Nagyvárad´s inhabitants were hungarians!
@@gabortoth3706 k
Hi guys! I'm from Brazil and I'm learning english with you. Thanks a lot!
That's awesome! Glad we can be of help :) We've heard Americans are often a little easier for foreigners to understand than British people
Happy you had a great time in my city!
I live in oradea. Is the city where i born and i am so glad to hear you like this city and apeciate the view
La fel și eu
We love Oradea 🇷🇴🇪🇺💕❤️❤️❤️
I am from Oradea, and I really loved the review ! I love the way you showed the beauty of this small city.
Nice to see that you guys like my home city! Hope you enjoyed your time here🧡
We loved it! Oradea is so beautiful 😍
6:08 That's the place where I pay my speeding tickets
kicsit lassabban akkor:))
Mindketten itt laktok? :)
2 nights and no visit to the fortress or the Roman Catholic Cathedral? Still so much to see in that city :)
Sandor Lajos , van egy reszletes roman video Nagyvarad belvarosarol a cime "Plimbare prin Oradea" czcams.com/video/lgUvnzOT6W8/video.html
Will love to visit this city can anyone from Oradea highlight to me the costs of one bedroom apartment or two bedroom apartment, WhatsApp me on +263772977979
Traiasca si anfloreasca Oradea cel mai frumos oras 😁👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Content like this make me see how my city is on the right track.
P.S: planned to buy that airbnb a few months ago lol
P.P.S: too bad you did not have more time to visit the Aquapark and Baile Felix, one of the biggest balneotherapy stations in Eastern Europe
Agreed! I know we wish we would have booked more time in Oradea. It would have been great to explore more.
haha i live in oradea so im really glad you guys enjoyed your time here!! hoping you’ll come back soon :)
Nice to see travel vloggers visit my hometown.
Such a beautiful city! We loved Oradea :)
Very nice film about Oradea guys. I saw you did fun în Oradea. It' s a lovely place I agree with you.
Nice little video tour of Oradea but I can't believe you missed some of the unique and beautiful sights like the baroque Roman Catholic cathedral (largest baroque church in Romania) with the covered walkway and the fortress of Oradea. Interesting fact about the place you just visited: a few Hungarian Kings were entombed in the city, including a Holy Roman emperor. The city has a strong Austro Hungarian heritage.
p.s. that lady was not cooking naan bread but traditional local stuffed dough pies, which I can't believe you guys didn't try. One of the best places in the city and very affordable.
Cheers
OMG !! Oradea 🥰 my city, I love it! I'm from Bucharest mmmeehhh and ran, moved to Oradea and I don't regret it!
Min. 1:42 is the same very small 😆 place where I got. my pies, delish, to bad you didn't try it they are so deliisshhh 😋, some young people speak English you just need to find them 😆, it's a very cool and beautiful city to hang out on ANY time of the year, really, the Mayos is amazing, he is organizing different festivals according to the season where you can have lots of delicious foods and fun, we even have a "beer festival" called "Autumn Days" I believe this is the correct translation where you can enjoy a medieval festival/show, hot springs Baile Felix (open all year around) you can NOT MISS, you'll be so happy there I promise and the best in my opinion,, new open is Aquapark Nymphaea is amazing, can stay there for hours and hours...you never wanna go home!
PLEASE 🙏RETURN! It'll be worth it, I promise !! 😉
P.S. Bucharest is just ok comparing to Oradea .👎
I am from Oradea💛😻
at 7:00 I can see my house on the right side of the river ;) glad you loved your trip in Oradea !
I can't believe you don't have more subscribers!! Great video as always ❤
Thanks so much! We are lucky to be traveling and learning to make videos together :)
Camilla Holmberg hi 👋👋👋
Oradea( Großwardein in german, or Nagyvorod in magyar language) is nicknamed also "Romanian Wien". It has a similar arhitecture. It is a very beautiful city which has the most organized city center.
Nagyvárad
It's actually Nagyvárad, pronounced as Noghivarod.
I live in Oradea and the way you pronouce it,it was funny😂,but thank you for the 5 star rewiew of my city,come back soon
Greetings from Oradea! So happy you like the city!
I'm living in Oradea! Good to know you guys liked the city ❤
I am for Oradea, but now I live in Cali. Oradea is a beautiful town :)
There are so many other gorgeous places that you didn't visit, besides the city center. Next time put a couple more on the list. I'm glad you enjoyed my city tho
Oradea is my home town and im happy tho that someone make it looks good
Glad you enjoyed our town. I find it very funny that one of the most "representative" food places is Turcu, with the turkish kebab. We used to go there a lot as high-school students as well, but it is not traditional Romanian food so if you missed eating any of that, you have to visit Oradea again sometimes :)
Last but not least, I think that in order to truly experience Romania you need to hike in the mountains and discover many stunning natural places (lakes, waterfalls, valleys, canyons, forest trails..), there's more beauty there than in the cities.
Sounds awesome. We'd definitely love to come back and see the more natural places in Romania too :)
There is so much more to view , you barely scratched the surface ! So many unique places and experiences. If you revisit plan your stay for at least 3 nights so you can see more . Glad you liked this hidden gem of a city !
It's an awesome city so we will definitely be back :)
It's nice that you visited Oradea but I feel offended when you said its a small town when it's one of the biggest cities in Romania 😂
So many comments from Romania, and I can tell I live here and I walk here everyday ,but in the video I just wondered that I never took time to look these cool architectures, as I could see in the video :) if you will come I would like to meet, even if my english is not good at all, but I would really like to see a happy couple like you Gab and Jack are! :D good video liked+subscribed
Awww thank you so much! We would love to meet you too when we come back to Oradea :)
Pp
Your pronunciation of Oradea is scratching my ears. You murdered it 😂
By the way, on top of that, at 7:00 there is a telescope that you can use, and with that you could see the "mushrooms (gomba)" ruins, that was almost hit another house. Luckily ive been in the "gomba" a week before the incident happened. They cleaned up the ruins. Its really great to see other people walking on the same street, visiting places where i was at! Greeting from Oradea
next time pass by the "Biserica cu Luna" it's beautiful too
Just found your video now after 1 year ..of course loved it a lot..
It is our city where we were born and raised..left 36 years ago ..
Yet it remains the ever loved location..you are correct..it is the hidden gem in Romania ..allways has been..
I am glad to have found your post 🗽✌🌷
Ohhh...Yeah...I can't believe it, you visited my home sweet home! actually where are you from guys? greetings from NYC
I'm from oradea :) welcome on our country, românia. (Sunt orădean. Bine ai venit în țară noastră!)
Oradea is the most beautiful city in my opinion.Were so glad the tourists likes this beautiful country!I hope you liked the food and all this stuff.I m sorry for my english but i m romanian
Thank you gor promoting us!!
Our pleasure! it is such a beautiful city
Nagyvárad
Forever!
Ok...u visited just the 1 mile centre?c'mon...you missed a lot
Well I'm from Oradea. Thanks for visiting Oradea!!!
This is the first video that I watch on this channel and I gotta say that Im rlly happy to see that u guys love it bcs I live in Oradea
That's awesome! Yeah we were there about two months ago and loved it!!
I never realised how beautiful and pure east Europe was. Not like multicultural Western Europe with no future.
@Stupid Ghhm The Turks, Arabs, Mongols etc also colonized other peoples countries, yet they are not flooded with immigrants so your point is bullshit. Only white countries get flooded, even countries that never had colonies like scandinavia or austria. Its white genocide, the elites and EU will next try to destroy eastern europa also with immigrants from shithole countries. Hopefully eastern europe will learn from the mistakes of western europe and resist white genocide.
@Stupid Ghhm How do you know gaby is English? Dacă e român😆? Calmează-te că n-are rost să-ți verşi nervii pe un clip aşa fain!👍
Lmao you guys sound like racist sociopaths, can't wait for that 'white genocide' you're talking about to happen already.
Romania itself is the result of multiculturalism. We are a mix of Latins and Slavs with a lot of Hungarian, German, Greek, Ottoman influences, including all the other surrounding countries too.
@Stupid Ghhm :))
Happy to see you enjoyed your stay :) there is much more to see, hope you come back.
It's a great city! We will definitely be back :)
I am living in Oradea and i live my city. And i love you cause you Like my city❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤. 😘😘😘😘😙
I also leave in Oradea and i m sad that i did not see you 🤗🇷🇴🤩
Aww we're bummed too! The people in Oradea are so friendly :)
it is small, but is the most beautiful city of Romania
Agreed! Such a beautiful city.
Unde-s romanasii mei?
Romanasii tai ? Citiva calatoresc aiurea parca Romania este de lepadat...altii lucreaza in strainatate ...etc...
Nou ca o familie am parasit - o din cauza regimului cu 36 de ani in urma...
Dat o pastram in inima noastra pe veci..Oradea noastra ✌🌷
My girlfriend is from Oradea, One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I love visiting it.
But you missed a lot. The fortress is really nice to visit as well for example.
My favorite place is inside the building at the Black Eagle Palace. It's owned by Romania's biggest telecom company. it used to be a Ottoman inn and is completely renovated to an office, but they kept the style and you can see beautiful handpainted wall and ceiling decorations. Sadly that's not open to visitors.
Nice video! I am wondering, which one did you like more, Romania or Bulgaria?
I'm so happy that you liked Oradea:) I live here and I can say that it's not that small...but it's fine
The city looks cute thanks to the E.U. funds (and perhaps thanks to a local administration that knows how to manage the projects that are eligible to acces money from the European Union). Anyhow, it is well known in Romania that Oradea has perhaps the best overcome when it comes to general appearance, being above Sibiu or even Cluj. However, 10 years ago the city was not that friendly with the eyes of a tourist
That's awesome that they got investment and were fixed up! It's so beautiful today we can't imagine what it looked like 10 years ago.
The fact that u visited the place where I live in makes me happy :)
I live in Oradea 🤗💯 i love you 😊
My hometown ❤️
Prince from India 😍❤️ love you Romania
I was there many many years ago, the best we enjoyed Mammaia sea part with my mam :)
Your having good times is great to watch...
Thx for sharing...
Great to see that you visit my home town 👌 we are in construction a little.
Yeah we noticed some construction on the side streets off the main pedestrian area but it was still beautiful! We hardly noticed :)
Hi there.
I want to inform you about the reason why the train trip from Cluj to Oradea taks so long. It's because of the beautiful landscape you pass through. You need to enjoy the landscape and fresh air so this is the reason why the train is running slow :-).
If you ask me I rather like biking into the area...is a paradise for this sport with o lot of off-road routes.
Eniway enjoy your trip, there are o lot to visit and if you like it you will come back...mai be.
😉
So glad to see that my hometown is promoted by people from other countries, not only the locals. Hope you liked Oradea. Also Romanian is a pretty difficult language to learn so don't worry if you pronounce names and stuff wrong 😄
Edit: Just wanted to let you know that your video is all over the Romanian news sites 😂
Glad you guys like my home town
Oradea, what a magnificent city
That's where I was born and where I used to live and I love that city it's just beautiful
Greetings guys. Lucky i am from Oradea haha... Nice to find you here and talking so nice about my city. Love you both and wish you to have an awesome year! Cya🥰
