- Oradea is a western city in Transylvania, Romania. I didn't know anything about this city except that it's close to the border with Hungary and a known transit point, where trains, buses, and vampires intersect in their travels.
Oradea is also known for its museums, architecture, nightlife, and proximity to thermal baths.
Today I interviewed some locals, and took in the marvels of the old town Oradea.

I love Oradea' it is a beatiful city 'and this city are in Romania' for sure....
In contrast, Bucharest's old buildings still standing after several earthquakes, communist demolition campaigns, and decay, are French-influenced, la Belle Époque style, and Italian architecture influenced. The architectural style often confused with the brutalist (communist) style, is in reality the “rationalist” style (also known as fascist architecture) used between the '30s and '40s. The old buildings from Oradea, or Timisoara, Cluj, and Arad are built in the Austro-Hungarian imperial style architecture, the secessionist Art Nouveau (1890-1914).
Yeas our country was in the middle of 3 empires for centuries.

All apartment buildings in Oradea if they are pre or post Ceaușescu are still built the same when a new political system moves in they don’t all of a sudden reform their construction methods. A brand new apartment in Oradea has the same layout and dimensions as an old one. It’s still Soviet but now they put pretty colors on the outside instead of bare concrete
@@iuliandeu4695yeah you can still see Romania speaker and Hungarian speaker fighting in Oradea to this day
@@adamscease4126only immigrants from Moldova and Oltenia do that… they should be deported back to their regions
Hey mate, thx for uploading this. I was born in Oradea and have not been home for 10 years. Its emotional seeing the streets I used to roam when I was young and clueless and while a lot seems the same, the city has changed massively.
Many people watch my videos because they are missing their homelands. Thanks for checking it out.
What a vid lad. Im from oradea, been living in london for last 13 years, its nice to see someone visit oradea and enjoy it, very chill city. We welcome you to come again brother!!!
11:43 lovely "architecture" indeed. lol :)
You're pretty awesome! Just discovered your channel. It DOES take cojones to do what you're doing. I salute you!
Thanks... I grew up in Oradea and I left in 1977. Nice to see the old stomping grounds.
Like I've told you already, I like your accent very much. And your voice is amazing, you could be a very good voice actor. Greetings from Romania, Ploiesti.
Hah I sound good for cartoons maybe. Thank you tho
Thanks!
11:58 OMG, it's funny you said circle of balls, because many people call it the balls, when referred to as a meeting place, like "meet me at the balls", but its actually because of the horses balls, from the statue in the middle.
What is the Harry Potter Express doing in Romania
It's waiting for you
Please go to Timişoara before you cross the border .
Not sure if I can this time. It's a bit off my path.
Nice hostel.
As a matter of fact, you're most of the time mixing up socialist architecture with art deco, both belong to the modernist type of architecture, however art deco developed during interwar
HaHa...look at that architecture!!
No Mortgage Nomad , the historical old buildings in Nagyvarad (Oradea) is hungarian architecture.
@@bujdososzekely you seem like a proud Hungarian, yes a lot of the Architecture in Oradea has some Hungarian influence but it is not only, there is a lot of Byzantine, Neo-Classical and NeoRomanian architecture as well as Austrian influence. All kept and restored by Romania
@@celestindimitriu3675 , in the City of Nagyvarad (Oradea) , old town / city center architecture 90% hungarian , 10% destroyd by the communist. I proud my Transylvanian Hungarian ( Szekely / Szekler ) heritage , we have history , we not need to steal.
@@bujdososzekely Interesting. No, when he mentioned the architecture, he had his camera following the cute gals that were walking ahead of him. Thats what I thought he was referring to. lol
@@NoMortgageNomad , the hungarian king Szent Laszlo was founder the City of Nagyvarad (Oradea) in 1080. After romanian occupatiom in 1923 his statue was remouved from Szent Laszo Ter (today Piata Ferdinand ) and changed with the satue of the "romanian" king Ferdinand Viktor Albert Meinrad von Hohenzollem - Sigmaringen.The "romanian" king was purchased in Germany on end of XIX century. He just visited the city after romanian occupation like Tony today. th-cam.com/video/51BWaLAORus/w-d-xo.html
Bro, just don't listen to those frustrated peasants in the commentary section, your content is enjoyable and you're a funny dude
that 'Zardog' face is a romanian thing but the building behind it was built during comunist time. During that time, Oradea was indeed a sh5thole. For example, that gang that you like so much at 12:24 and made you think of queens, kings and guillotines was derelict, abandoned, ful of graffities and the place where the alcoholics and gypsies use to go to urinate and poo. Just saying
I would love to go back and time and see it full of gypsy poo
Tony you walking in the Csiki Sor Bar and you not tasted the famous Szekler ( Szekely) , hungarian beer from Szeklerland , Transylvania ?
Can I only get it there?
Yes you were wrong..
The soviets never build anything im România
So just want to say that ROMANIA WAS NEVER SOVIET! yes they were communist until 1989, but they were never part of the USSR.
Also, there's no dispute at all whether Oradea is still part of Hungary. Period. And that girl you asked if she was wearing a traditional Romania dress? She lied, she's Hungarian and that's a Hungarian dress.
A lot of that colorful architecture is of a succesionist art nouveau style btw
My girlfriend is from Oradea and found this video (along with me) to be quite laughable and cringey.
Asa-i Anthony!
In all the videos from Romania he talked about everything in a mocking way. He only did this in his videos from Romania.
Oh shut up. He didnt say it like that. Ofc there are some people who, in a nostalgic way, say Oradea is still in Hungary. But as you can clearly see, even tho its in romania, there is a strong hungarian influence and culture in the city, there is no denying that. Butthurt people i stg.
Meh 🫤😛
City of Nagyvarad (Oradea) population was 95% hungarian before romanian occupation in 1918.
and what were the procenteges in the villages surrounding this city or in the entirety of Transilvanya
@@sstoi Stai linistit ca a mai zis exact acelasi lucru si la videoclipul din Cluj, omu' e cu propaganda ungariei :))) ce sa faci, castiga si el o paine ca si postac, argumentele noastre nu merg la el.
You spreading shit in all the videos about Transilvania...you are paid by Victor Orban's propaganda machine? Well if you are at least tell the truth about hungarian occupation in Transilvania. Do you know how many buildings were made by jews in Oradea? Do you know how many jews were send in concentration camps by hungarian occupation forces in ww2? By the way if you are szekely why do you work for the hungarian dictatorial regime?

I know exactly where you were sitting from the picture on the video Oradea is a tiny little place they have some nice restaurants and it’s great value for money but don’t run afoul with locals or your bound to be detained by the corrupt police department indefinitely.
