Know before you go: Oradea is nestled among hills that both divide and unify the Crișana Plains and the hilly limits of the Apuseni Mountains in a harmonious way. Located on the Crișul Repede River, which divides the city into almost equal halves, it is a gateway to Central and Western Europe. Situated about 10 km from Borș - the biggest border point on the western border - Oradea ranks tenth in size among Romanian cities.
