Timişoara Romania



Timişoara is a university city and industrial center in western Romania. Timisoara is known in Romania as the City of Parks. There are Botanical Park (near Piata Unirii, it's the most beautiful park in Timisoara), Rose Park (near Piata Victoriei), Central Park (near Piata Victoriei, just behind the Metropolitan Orthodox Cathedral), Children's Park (near the Student Campus) and others. I saw many people doing all kinds of activities in the parks. I did not receive reply from the free walking tour, so I did a 4-hr walk on my own via the main squares covering the Metropolitan Orthodox Cathedral, The Opera House, The City Hall, The Philharmonic, the Bastion (Part of Timisoara's old defensive walls now hosting restaurants/shops), and beautiful palaces built at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It would have been easier to tour on a bicycle. I wish I have more time to spend in this city, but I need to go to Belgrade to catch my flights back to USA on July 8.— checked in to Centru Timisoara.




I toured the last square in town and the traditional market before I left. The food prices are really cheap here, especially in the fresh/traditional market. I could not help but exchanged $10 to buy a box of blue berry $1.23, a 500g bottle of honey $3, 500g pecan $2.5, 300g grilled pork $2, and 3 pieces of pastries $ 1.7. I saw an boxes of eggs vending machine. — checked in to Badea Cartan.
