Timișoara

Timișoara, often nicknamed the “Little Vienna,” welcomes visitors with its elegant Austro-Hungarian architecture and a vibrant, multicultural spirit. Stroll through the grand Union Square—framed by pastel-hued buildings, the ornate Orthodox Cathedral, and lively cafés—then wander along the leafy banks of the Bega River, where riverside terraces beckon.

Known as the first European city illuminated by electric streetlights, Timișoara boasts a dynamic arts scene, with galleries, street art and the spectacular Rose Festival each spring. Culinary explorers will savor hearty banat specialties in cozy bistros, while history buffs can trace the city’s role in the 1989 Revolution at museums and memorials. With its blend of old-world charm and modern energy, Timișoara promises an unforgettable urban adventure.
