Oradea (UK: /ɒˈrɑːdiə/, US: /ɔːˈr-, -djɑː/,[5][6][7] Romanian: [oˈrade̯a]; Hungarian: Nagyvárad [ˈnɒɟvaːrɒd]; German: Großwardein [ˌɡʁoːsvaʁˈdaɪn]) is a city located in the Crișana region of Romania. It serves as the administrative seat of Bihor County and is an economic, social, and cultural hub in northwestern Romania. The city lies between rolling hills on the Crișana plain on both banks of the Crișul Repede river.
The city is Romania's ninth most populous (as of 2021) and lies approximately 10 km (6.2 mi) from the Hungarian border.[2][8] It covers 11,556 hectares (28,560 acres) between the Apuseni Mountains and the Crișana-Banat plain.
According to a study conducted by a real estate firm, Oradea has the second-highest standard of living and is the second-most advantageous city in Romania.[9] It serves as the region’s major industrial and economic hub hosting several of the country's largest industrial enterprises. The city possesses Art Nouveau architecture and is a member of both the Réseau Art Nouveau Network and the Art Nouveau European Route.
