Registered on 24 July 2023

Hi everyone! I am Flavia, born and raised in Oradea. I recently moved back home and started working as a local tour guide. I love discovering new cultures, places, people, and their life stories. I am passionate about the French language, and I have a special interest in Jewish culture. Join me for a general walk in Oradea, a Jewish heritage tour, or simply having a specialty coffee while talking buildings 😊.

Tour description

Have the city's palaces always captivated your attention?

Do you want to learn the history of the largest ghetto built in 1944 in the region, after the one in Budapest?

I'd like to welcome you on a less typical neighborhood stroll where:

• You will enjoy learning about the individuals and structures that helped Oradea become known as one of Europe's Art Nouveau (Secession) cities;
• You will hear the histories of the buildings that served as mute witnesses to the city's worst tragedy in the past century;
• We'll make a stop at the Orthodox Synagogue (optional visit).
