Timișoara
About
Discover the history of Timișoara
Timișoara, capital of Romanian Banat, stretches along the Bega River and preserves a rich Austro-Hungarian heritage visible in its architecture and Baroque squares, notably Piața Unirii and Piața Victoriei. A multicultural city, it brings together Romanian, Hungarian, Serbian and German communities, whose traditions are found in its museums, such as the Banat Museum housed in the former Hunyad Castle, and its Orthodox, Catholic and Reformed churches. Summers are hot and sunny, perfect for long walks along the canals and through public gardens. This Mediterranean light enhances the colorful facades of the historic center, amid lively cafés and pedestrian streets lined with Art Nouveau buildings.
