Tour description
Timișoara is one of Romania's most elegant cities, a former Habsburg jewel of baroque squares and pastel facades that earned it the nickname 'Little Vienna'. It was also the spark of the 1989 revolution and a European Capital of Culture. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its beauty and history.
You will stroll the grand Victory and Union Squares, admire baroque palaces and cathedrals, and hear about the revolution that began here. Along the way you will discover the Romanian, German, Hungarian and Serbian heritage of the city. Elegant and historic, Timișoara is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
