Romania

Arad, the capital and base of  Arad county, is situated in the western extremity of Transylvania. The city could be considered as a tourist stopover if you are coming to Romania from Hungary, or leaving the country.

ARAD, a beautiful city situated in the western Romania on the banks of the river Mures is only 30 km away from the Hungarian border. Over the years the Austrian-Hungarian occupation left a mark in our architecture and life style.Arad's City Hall is a beautiful building which has to its right and left another two old palaces dated 2 centuries back.

The "Cenad Palace" is one of the buildings old enough to justify the beauty of architectural times it was built in. The town has aprox. 200.000 inhabitants, three quarters being Romanians and the rest is represented by hungarians, germans, italians, serbs and other minorities in a smaller percentage.
