Union Square, with its colorful buildingsand unique architecture is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe.
It's one of my favourite places for enjoying my morning coffee and a croissant.
Nights are vibrant and during afternoons the terraces and restaurants offer a great variety of menus.
However, I prefer the more quiet mornings when you can bathe in the sun at one of the terraces and just... seize the moment

Timisoara may not be regarded as an art city but I am sure things will change soon. Piata Unirii is going under a massive renovation. If you go there now, your panorama will be marred by scaffolding but once the makeover is over and done with, the square will be wounderful.

Pedestrian square with Secession and Baroque architecture buildings, marking the old city center and hosting an open air historical trams exhibition. Not sure if the trams exhibition is temporary or permanent.
There are many terraces around and some of the historical buildings look instagramic.
Overall, this is the perfect place in Timisoara to start your day with a coffee or end it with a sunset drink.

This is the most beautiful square in Timisoara, both day and night.
Its present appearance dates back from 18c when it was liberated from Ottoman rule and Habsburg royalty set their palace here.
Besides the Palace which is the Art Museum today, Piata Unirii is home to the Serbian Orthodox Church and Bishop seat, Catholic Church of Saint George and colorful picturesque Bruck houses. The middle of the square is adorned with an ornate column monument commemorating the victory over the plague along with a nice fountain beside it.
Many outdoor cafes and restaurants around the square, nice to have a drink and admire the square beauty.

One of the main attractions of Timisoara city. A place full of history.
Around Unirii Square you can drink coffe and enjoy the view . A variaty of coffe shops with a terrace.
Big plus + is that there is no casinos or bet houses , only `history` and a good view of it .

So it begins - Timisoara 2023 - Cultural Capital of Culture !!! (alongside Veszprem in Hungary and Eleusina in Greece ) - and the grand opening was in the weekend of 17-19th of February 2023!
And the venue of choice to start "with full force" was the Unirii square in Timisoara - in one of the corner a big stage was erected and it started with an evening of concert (and some air ballet) - and guess what , my favorite local band Implat pentru Refuz (IPR short - Implant for Denial in English) was the opening act. What a show , what a feeling ... awesomeness in the happening.
So beside the landmarks , the historical buildings, the pubs, bars, restaurants and terrace the traveler visiting Timisoara and Unirii square in 2023 should not be surprise to "land" in a middle of a cultural event - more than 2500 events planed for this year in Timisoara ....
So yes it has begun - and Unirii square was shining brighter than ever. When you are in Timisoara you can't miss a walk in this iconic spot of the town.

Smaller than Victory Sq but far less commercialised. Some lovely pavement cafes for al fresco pizza or pasta. Or just a fresh home made lemonade or beer.

Once the last of the buildings are going to be renovated, it will be quite a site.
As far as I have heard, this year will be a renovation year for Timisoara's old town. This says it all.

Lovely plaza surrounded by gorgeous facades. Sweet, little water drinking fountain as well. Beautiful in the day, and stunning all lit up at night.

Buongiorno, io adesso sono ruentrato in Italia, ma come dice Valeria anche se a volte si raggiungono i -15°C non sarà mai freddo come da noi, è un freddo asciutto. Per le condizioni guarda sulle previsioni metereologiche, sono abbastanza attendibili. Per la carta no problem e se ti serve di cambiare c'è al centro Jabri o altri sulla stessa via che hanno il miglior cambio valuta. Per mangiare ti consiglio cucina locale al Timisoreana al centro dove è la Cattedrale, ma se vuoi italiana ce ne sono diversi tra cui la Locanda del Corso. Il tutto tranquillamente a piedi. Buona vacanza
