Hotels near Arad International Airport - ARW, Arad

Arad is a mid-size city in the west of Romania. The longer the more, Western influences become more and more visible. A wide variety of Western banking and insurance companies, foodstores that cater to almost every wish, car dealers from Skoda to Jaguar, excellent shopping of every kind - from the modern and exquisite Atrium Mall to the local "Jackson" market, excellent restaurants offering a wide-range of local and international food, and, last but definitely not least, a couple of nice sights, such as the town hall, the Biserica Franciscana, surrounded by the River Mures, and the massive "Holy Trinity" cathedral, a landmark in the town, are musts when stopping in Arad. During the warm days of summer, parks, promenades, open bars and restaurants invite you for a snack or a delicious dinner and if temperatures are getting too hot, you will find cooling at "The Strand" a huge public swimming pool. With the city further renovating old buildings, bringing them back to full glory and with busses and trams connecting the most important parts of town, getting around is easy and cheap ... and, Timisoara, the country's third biggest city, with its beautiful historical town, is just half an hour drive away. Go, visit Arad, it is the perfect stop while travelling from Western Europe towards the Black Sea.

Lovely town with monumental historic buildings and an idylic riverside. Even more could be done with the Mures valley area in terms of eco tourism and leisure options, but hopefully that's all coming. What's more, the people in Arad (as inall of Transylvania, really) are lovely: calm, gentle, helpful, and warm.

Lovely city with large city facilities yet lots of trees nd a lovely large park and river in the middle of the town. Beware when ordering takeout.... there are not enough couriers available and the promised 25mins delivery time may be 1.5 hours with cold food....

A lot of renovated late 19th and early 20th century eclectic and art nouveau buildings in the center of the town (although if you are an art nouveau fan, Oradea is definitely a better choice). Have a look at the museums at the Palace of Culture (specially the archeological one).

Arad is a charming city with excellent food and service, offering plenty of markets, bars, and restaurants to enjoy. It’s well-connected by transportation to other European cities, making it a great base for travel. The rich architecture, beautiful old buildings, and scenic parks along the river create a lovely atmosphere, and the friendly locals make the experience even more welcoming.

Arad is a beautiful city. The city center has beautiful palaces and buildings primarily in the baroque style of architecture. We enjoyed the market and the variety of foods typically eaten in Romania. Arad is centrally located in western Romania which gave us the opportunity to take day trips to experience highlights like Transylvania’s Covin Castle (influenced Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula”), The Gardens of Zoe, Timisoara, Szeged (Hungary), and The Bear Cave in the Western Carpathian Mountains.
