Me at the bowling!

BlackBox is located at the top opf the Mall and is a center for bowling and pool/snooker and darts it has 6 bowling allys and a few electronic darts boards and several pool and snooker tables all of which looked to be in good order ...you can also have a drink and a snack there ...be aware that people are still allowed to smoke inside though.

In the entrance hall there is also a large computer games arcade with large computerised games and most of them looked to be up to date/new

The bowling allys are all new electronic ones and they are well maintained and have the popular comedy/cartoon scoring systems and the shioes for hire were clean and new looking and supplied with little disposable oversocks for hygiene...(nice touch)

opening hours seem to be 12 midday until late on monday to thursday and weekends are from 10 until really late depending on the "in"crowd

Cinema city is located in the mall area and has access through the mall on the second floor it has the usual concession stands and 8 screens ..most of the films seem to be shown twice per evening...the website is easy to use even if you dont speak romanian just choose timisoara from the drop down for the 'Localitatea' and fill the date you wish to go in at data and press 'cauta' and you will see the films avaiable on that day...most of the adult films will be original versions with subtitles but childrens films *may* be dubbed so check beforehand !

The Mall

The mall is huge and spread over 4 floors with both elevators and escalators to get around ...there are over 330 shops some of which you will know or have heard of and some you wont and the ones you dont recognise are also worth a look I saw fantastic shoe shops and several upper class jewellery stores.... and with over 20 restaurants and coffee bars (including a Starbucks!) you cant go hungry or thirsty there ...plus if you have a student card you can get discount vouchers for the food outlets at the information kiosk on the lower level!

there is ample car parking and a taxi to the mall from the town center costs less than 10 lei (give the rest as a tip)

There is also a kids club for children 1- 12 years old and it has a ball opark and a large soft playcenter and computer games for the older shildren and a fully qualified care staff.

a tBike bicycle in the middle of the city.

Timisoara is now recognized as the most bike friendly city in Romania. Biking in the town is a pleasure for everyone who likes seeing things at it's own peace. We tried several bike rental shops in the city but by far the most accesible (timeframe and multiple locations) and good looking bikes we found at tBike - Rent a bike.

Unirii square

A few meters of walking distance from the Victory sqaure there is the union square named union for the orthodox cathedral and the roman one facing each other at the two sides of the square. The caratheristic of this square is the historical pastel painted buildings all around a garden. In the 18th century this used to be the main commercial point of the city and the place where military and religious processions had place.

The cathedral is probably the main point of interest of the city, or at least it was for me. Actually the Romanian Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral is located at the south side of Victory square.
It was built betwen the years 1936 and 1946 and in the green and red roof you can clearly notice some really well done mosaic designes.
In front of the cathedral you can notice a memorial to those who lost their lives during 1989 revolution againsto comunist power.
