Trams

There are three tram lines in Oradea, and these run together for most of their journey. The lines are 1, 2 and 4. Lines 1 and 4 run together in a city loop, while Line 2 joins part of this loop in part of its journey. All quarters except Vie are served by trams. Trams do not actually run in the city centre, since this is a beautiful Baroque area with narrow streets. They do, however, run on the border of the city in a loop, and then continue through to all the residential areas and quarters.

Tram 1 runs from Sinteza Factory, which is located in the industrial west of Oradea, very close to the township of Bors and the Hungarian border, via the quarter of Rogerius, the central railway station, the city centre and then loops back to Rogerius.
Tram 2 runs from Iosia quarter via the southern city centre and the heart of the city (Unirii Square) to Cantemir quarter and then Nufarul. This is probably the most important route.
Tram 4 is similar to Tram 1, as it completes the city loop circuit, but the other way around. It runs from Nufarul and then does the city loop from the Civic Centre onwards, terminating back at the Civic Centre near the main market.
