Arad is a charming city situated on the Mures River in western Romania, close to the border with Hungary. The city is particularly well-known for its multiculturalism, due to the mix of ethnic groups who have inhabited it over the centuries, such as the Hungarians, Germans, Ottomans, and finally Romanians. Believe it or not, a wide range of points of interest include the Neoclassical National Theatre, the Neo-Gothic Red Church, and the faux-Flemish Renaissance town hall building. As a matter of fact, this beautiful city is very well known by the name of "The Little Vienna of Romania". It was with this expression that Arad was defined by the historian, poet and Romanian Prime Minister Nicolae Iorga at the beginning of the nineteenth century, on the occasion of his visit to the city.
