Situated in the North-West of Romania, Crisana or “The Country of the 3 Rivers” is crossed by the Black River (Crisul Negru), the White River (Crisul Alb) and the Fast River (Crisul Repede), this last one crossing Oradea city (the residence of Bihor County) and giving us a reflection of the monumental City Hall building. Arad the residence of the county having the same name is another important city of Crisana where you can visit: the Arad Fortress, the Old Theatre - the oldest theatre the the Western part of Romania, the Serbian Church (18^th century) etc.

Another attraction of the city is the Baroque Palace, a replica of the Belvedere Palace from Vienna. Here in the yard full of roses, you can admire the Roman-Catholic Cathedral, representing the largest cathedral in baroque style in Romania (1752-1780) which was raised to the rank of basilica in 1991 by Pope John Paul II. Nearby, you can visit the Canonici Line (Sirul Canonicilor), a baroque construction with Roman arcades, 100 m long.

After all these ups and downs you may be a little bit tired, so we invite you to a true relaxation in Baile 1 Mai spa resort or in Baile Felix spa resort (internationally famous and the largest treatment center in the country).
