General presentation
Satu Mare and the Oaș Country
Border town and rural area of the north-west, between villages of Oaș, traditions, hills and gates of Maramureș.
To understand what Satu Mare is and the country of Oaș, you must look at Satu Mare, Negrești-Oaș and Villages of Oaș. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, the countryside, heritage and forests and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: diffuse tourist offer and rather regional stage. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Satu Mare
Satu Mare is a border town of the Romanian north-west, marked by Hungarian influences, quiet squares and Art Nouveau buildings. It serves as a threshold to the country of Oaș and Maramureș, with a more discreet atmosphere than the large Transylvanian cities.
Town or village
Negrești-Oaș
Negrești-Oaș is the small capital of the country of Oaș, a region known for its costumes, festivals and hill villages. The local museum and the surrounding area help to capture a very expressive rural culture, still visible in houses, portals and family traditions.
Town or village
Villages of Oaș
The villages of Oaș show a Romanian north attached to colourful houses, carved gates, costumes and community celebrations. Between hills, orchards and secondary roads, the region is of interest to travellers who are attentive to living traditions rather than isolated monuments.
