Lovely city with large city facilities yet lots of trees nd a lovely large park and river in the middle of the town. Beware when ordering takeout.... there are not enough couriers available and the promised 25mins delivery time may be 1.5 hours with cold food....

Lovely town with monumental historic buildings and an idylic riverside. Even more could be done with the Mures valley area in terms of eco tourism and leisure options, but hopefully that's all coming. What's more, the people in Arad (as inall of Transylvania, really) are lovely: calm, gentle, helpful, and warm.

Arad is a mid-size city in the west of Romania. The longer the more, Western influences become more and more visible. A wide variety of Western banking and insurance companies, foodstores that cater to almost every wish, car dealers from Skoda to Jaguar, excellent shopping of every kind - from the modern and exquisite Atrium Mall to the local "Jackson" market, excellent restaurants offering a wide-range of local and international food, and, last but definitely not least, a couple of nice sights, such as the town hall, the Biserica Franciscana, surrounded by the River Mures, and the massive "Holy Trinity" cathedral, a landmark in the town, are musts when stopping in Arad. During the warm days of summer, parks, promenades, open bars and restaurants invite you for a snack or a delicious dinner and if temperatures are getting too hot, you will find cooling at "The Strand" a huge public swimming pool. With the city further renovating old buildings, bringing them back to full glory and with busses and trams connecting the most important parts of town, getting around is easy and cheap ... and, Timisoara, the country's third biggest city, with its beautiful historical town, is just half an hour drive away. Go, visit Arad, it is the perfect stop while travelling from Western Europe towards the Black Sea.
