Best time to visit the city

by outofoffice

Timisoara is a beautiful city, but there are a few times during the year when it just looks incredible.

In spring, the magnolias on both sides of the Bega river blossom. During summer it gets hot, but the Rose Park is a perfect place to take a break. Fall is great for those who love to wander around the old streets. If you manage to arrive in the city during winter and while there's snow - you will be amazed. However, snow doesn't last long around here.

No matter which time of the year you pass by, if there is a festival going on you should give it a try. To find out what's going out in the city visit the Tourist Information Office (you can find it on Alba Iulia street - the little street linking Victory Square and Liberty Square).

This charming square's surrounded by colourful 18th and 19th-century buildings, including the Catholic Dome, the Baroque Palace, the Serbian Church and the monument of the Holy Trinity and a mineral water well.

Timisoara

by Mique

The first real travel destination in Romania for me and Stinker was Timisoara.

One of the remarkable things about Timisoara is that it has so many piata's and parks. Which makes it a very nice and pleasant city to be in. Especially when the sun is shining!

On the surface there isn't much to be seen of the 1989 revolution. There are of course the little church where the revolution began, the bullet holes in the cathedral and the memorials erected. But for the rest Timisoara looks like any other city. Full with people going on about their business. Until you ask people about the revolution. They still do remember.
