Transylvania. The city could be considered as a tourist stopover if you
are coming to Romania from Hungary, or leaving the country.
Other
incorporated towns in this western-looking county include Chişineu-Criş, Curtici, Ineu,
Lipova, Nădlac, Pāncobta, Pecica, Sāntana, and Sebiş, and the
larger villages of Clit and Vinga and about 66 others. |

Dialling County Arad
All of the phone numbers in County Arad
start with (0257) or (0257), depending on whether the service is
through the old state-run operator RomTelecom, or from one of the newer
entrants into the market in Romania.
Dialling internationally into Arad,
you must
remove any leading zero from the county code portion of the phone
number, so that (0257) becomes (257). Dialling a mobile
number (or the Zapp hybrid phones), you do the same, dropping the zero from the (07XX) part of the
number, to make it (7XX). Both landlines and mobiles have 6
digits following the initial county code.
