Aside spending some time strolling around the resort town Baile Herculane, (the first documented resort in Romania, that was at the peak of its development during the 19th century), you can also enjoy some interesting locations such as the derelict Neptune Baths, a monument of the 19th century architecture, the Hercules statue, the Old Train Station built in 1886, the Casino, and a Museum displaying ancient Roman artifacts inside the Roman Hotel. Don't miss the beautiful sight of a sequoia tree by the Old Train Station. The city itself is quaint and utterly romantic, with lots of beer gardens, gazebos, and bistros, great for honeymooners. Its sulfur spas are great for people who suffer of dermatitis and other immune skin conditions. For the fit traveler in search of adventures, a great gateway to Domogled National Park (park entrance is located 10 minutes drive from downtown) or Nera Valley National Park .

This is where the Christmas market is set up so it is bustling and very nicely decorated. Plus, there are so many beautiful buildings, old buildings recently renovated.

If somebody would ask me to single out a spot in this beautiful city where I live I would say the "Unirii Square" - or Union Square if you like it more. It is one of the oldest squares in the city - in 1716 Eugen of Savoy liberated the city from the ottoman rule and with that started more than 2 centuries of Habsburg rule and also it began the transformation and rebuilding of the city. In Unirii Square you have most likely the greatest concentration of historical buildings , just to mention a few: - the Catholic Dome - built in the 18th century - 1774 it was finished. - the Baroque Palace - obviously built in a baroque style - over the centuries was hosting historical figures like Franz Joseph of Austria and the Royal Romanian couple King Ferdinand of Romania and Queen Mary of Romania. Nowadays is the home for the Art Museum of Timisoara. - the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral - built in 1748. - the Bruck House - built in Secession style. - the monument of the Holy Trinity - built after the bubonic plague ended in Banat ( 1731-1738 the plague was devastating the Banat region - the region where Timisoara is situated). This above are just a few of the buildings worth checking out. Also for those looking for a place to eat there are several restaurants : - the Drunken Rat - Pepper - In Thyme - Bistro M Just to mention a few of the places. (at the bottom I've chosen 3+ hours for the visit because I was considering that the average traveler will sit down for a few beers and have something to eat also, but for a fast visit you can do it in under 1 hour) A lot of things to see if you want to take a walk - several restaurants to choose from if you want to have lunch or dinner. So, once this world gets back to normal and you come again to visit Timisoara - come and check out Unirii Square, maybe you'll see me there too.

Definitely a must see if you are visiting Arad, especially during the night when it lights up. We visited yesterday and it was very nicely arranged and had a very big Christmas three in front of it. Om the left side you can see a nice light up tunnel which leads to the Christmas fair organized in the "Mihai Eminescu" Park which is also a must see.

The beautiful and colorful building in the center of Timisoara, a good place to take some pictures, grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the view of the square.
