Holiday apartment in Curtici: Culture, thermal water and landscape

Curtici combines several clearly distinct reasons to travel: churches and the patron saint’s feast, thermal baths, sports facilities, a weekly market, landscape and cultural events. A holiday apartment in Curtici is an interesting accommodation option for you if you do not want to reduce the character of a place to just one experience. Historic buildings, geothermal water, physical activity and local events create different focal points for your days away.

Landscape and rail connections

The landscape around Curtici in the Western Plain is characterized by sandy ridges. These were formed by former branches of the Mureș and are now stabilized by vineyards. Curtici is also an important railway junction connecting Romania with Central and Western Europe. The combination of landscape features and railway history is therefore one of the town’s distinctive aspects.

Churches and patron saint’s feast

The Orthodox church in Curtici was built in 1777 on the site of an older wooden church. The Catholic church building was constructed as early as 1772. During the patron saint’s feast of the Orthodox church, the holy patron saints, the Apostles Peter and Paul, are celebrated. The festivities include a procession around the church.

At the “Gheorghe Mocuța” Cultural Centre, the patron saint’s feast continues with a folkloric programme of songs and dances performed by Curtici’s “Mugurașii” folklore ensemble. This provides you with a specific cultural occasion that combines local history, religious tradition and music.

Thermal water and physical activity

The thermal baths in Curtici have pools supplied with geothermal water. In summer, the thermal baths with their thermal water are Curtici’s main tourist attraction. If you choose a holiday apartment in Curtici, this focus can be a decisive element in planning your trip, alongside the churches and events.

Sports activities are also part of what the town offers. Curtici’s sports complex includes the Frontiera 1929 Stadium, a sports hall and the associated sports grounds. It is open to everyone who would like to take part in physical and leisure activities.

Market and cultural events

Curtici has a weekly agro-food market, the “Piața Agroalimentară”, with designated sales areas for producers. This provides a recurring date in your Curtici travel planning alongside the individual cultural events. The “Poezie pe câmpie” poetry festival reached its fourth edition in 2026. It was held on 5 June 2026 at the Curtici Cultural Centre, with more than 60 contestants taking part.

Further cultural points of interest include a late-Baroque-style castle built for Andrei Kaszonyi in 1769 and an exhibition held in 2025 by the painter Ghiță Mădărăsan, featuring 57 works. This means that when choosing a holiday apartment in Curtici, you can set different priorities among religious tradition, historic buildings, thermal water, sports, market visits and contemporary cultural events.
