Tour description
Timișoara is one of Romania’s most elegant cities, once a Habsburg jewel with baroque-style squares and softly pastel-colored buildings, earning it the nickname “Little Vienna.” It was also where the 1989 Revolution began and is a European Capital of Culture. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city’s beauty and history.
You’ll stroll through the magnificent Victory Square and Union Square, admire grand baroque-style palaces and churches, and hear about the revolution that began right here. Along the way, you’ll discover the cultural heritage of the Romanian, German, Hungarian, and Serbian communities in the city. With its elegant beauty and rich historical character, Timișoara is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
