Timisoara

We are delighted to host you this spring in the heart of Timisoara. Also known as “Little Vienna”, Timisoara – a city with a rich history and impressive architecture. We invite you to discover its vibrant squares and the multitude of green parks:

  • Visit Union Square – This is the central square of Timisoara and a great place to start exploring the city. The Union Square (Domplatz) was unusually large compared to the size of the fortress, which served to highlight the baroque appearance of this space.
  • Brück Palace (located in Union Square) – On the southern side of the Union Square, in the immediate vicinity of the Baroque Palace, is one of the most recognizable buildings in Timisoara – the Salamon Brück Palace. Built according to the plans of the Timisoara architect László Székely, in the Secession style, the palace was completed in the summer of 1911.
  • National Theatre and Opera (Union Square) The building was built between 1872 and 1875 in the intra muros area of the fortress, according to the plans of architects Ferdinand Fellner Jr. and Hermann Helmer, in a historic eclectic style.
  • Maria Theresa Bastion , also known as the "Fortress Bastion", is the largest surviving part of the former citadel of Timișoara. Inside it is also  National Museum of Banat.
  • Explore the Rose Park – Formerly called the Rose Park, Rosarium, Ștefan Plavăț Culture and Recreation Park, it is one of the parks in Timișoara, located in the Cetate neighborhood.
  • Orthodox Cathedral "Holy Three Hierarchs"   – The Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral impresses both by its size and by the artistic value of the monument, combining elements of Byzantine architecture with those of old Romanian architecture.
  • Bega Canal – enjoy a “cruise” on the Bega River by vaporetto. The canal runs through the entire city, connecting neighborhoods and historic areas.
