Biharia, a rural commune a short drive north of Oradea, offers a glimpse into traditional Hungarian-influenced village life in Bihor County. Its centerpiece is the impressive Reformed church, a Gothic-style building dating from the 13th century with later renovations, featuring a tall spire and fortified walls. Visitors can wander the quiet streets lined with old houses, many with characteristic verandas, and experience the slow pace of local life. The commune also has a small museum showcasing regional folk costumes and artifacts.

- Explore the local ethnographic museum to see traditional Hungarian and Romanian folk items.
- Walk through the village to observe well-preserved 19th-century peasant houses.
