It was a long day. Hot. Worries, will we get the next train? Traveling through Hungary means: plane landscape, huge fields. We took 6 trains and two busses. And no, we are not in Interrail age any more.
The guy, we met at the border (there you have to change into a bus in between) told us, Oradea is a nice place. And indeed: what we saw, is really beautiful. And it will be even more in a few years, because quite a lot of houses are being renovated. Art Deco or Jugendstil, as we call it, at its best!
And yes, we also can recommend Hotel stokker and it's restaurant. Great food and great waiter!
As I studied landscape planning in my youth, I still look at places in a different manner. And I was intrigued by the design of this place. The lamps, the furniture, the waiting huts for the tram are all done in an contemporary Art Deco design. Look at these lamps, also holding the wires for the tram: 
Really something! I can only say: I love Oradea!
