Ungheni (Hungarian: Nyárádtő [ˈɲaːraːttøː]; German: Nyaradfluß) is a town in Mureș County, in Transylvania, Romania. Until 1925 its Romanian name was Nirașteu. Six villages are administered by the town: Cerghid (Nagycserged), Cerghizel (Kiscserged), Morești (Malomfalva), Recea (Recsa), Șăușa (Sóspatak), and Vidrasău (Vidrátszeg).

Location

Ungheni is situated 10.6 kilometres (6.6 mi) from the county capital Târgu Mureș, 42.2 km (26.2 mi) from Reghin, and 99.6 km (61.9 mi) from Cluj-Napoca. The Târgu Mureș International Airport is located in Vidrasău, 14 km (8.7 mi) southwest of the county capital.

The town is bordered by the following communes: to the north by Band and Pănet, to the south by Suplac and Mica, to the east by Cristești, and to the west by Sânpaul. It is crossed by the A3 motorway, which runs from Bucharest to the Hungarian border near Oradea. The General Nicolae Dăscălescu train station serves the CFR Line 405, which connects Deda to Războieni-Cetate, passing through Târgu Mureș and Luduș.
