What to do and see in Timisoara, Transylvania: The Best Historic Sites

May 18, 2022 Marlin Saiz

Charming Timisoara is often referred to as “Little Vienna,” and indeed, Austrian influences are evident in the architecture, food and culture. This is a walking city, divided into squares that showcase stunning architectural gems. Downtown is reserved for pedestrians only, and the best time to visit is at twilight, when you can sip a hot wine as you stroll amid sparkling lights.

Communism destroyed a lot of the city's monuments, the beautiful edifices of this square were left for decay. Lucky Timisoara will be European Cultural capital 2021 and is making efforts to show itself from its best side. Visiting in the later half of 2020 will have you encounter more construction sites and buildings under renovation than you probably fancy. Just a warning. The square features a mix of architectural styles, the Hapsburg era being the most prevalent. Even if not in need of medication pay a visit to the only pharmacy in the square, it still has all original apothecary interior. The Serbian episcopacy and St. George's cathedral are testimony of the peaceful melting pot that this part of Romania has always been. Don't miss. The bars and restaurants will provide a lovely break and chance to people watch.

This place is related to the history of Timisoara. I don;t have much idea about this when we went there. But, its related to the history and it is renovated and preserved by the authorities.
