- Régis GauthierRennes, France34 contributionsA really beautiful church. I was not aware that Romanians are a very religious people, so you will see a lot of local people in church.Written September 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Richard Molnar9 contributionsLooking good baroque old city centre of Timisoara reminds me any central European city grown in Austrian imperial age.

The views from the top of the scaffold are awesome, especially at sunset.
Piata Victoriei / Victory square is surrounded by some of the most iconic buildings of the city, featuring Baroque and Secession architecture. Some of them are recently renovated, some of them are under restauration process. However, Opera House, the most famous landmark of the city, is here to be admired.Written July 31, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I visited this memorial for the first time in 2013 and then went back in 2023. It is a wonderful projects that honours the heroes of the anti-communist revolution in Timisoara, while also remembering aspects of the totalitarian regime all around Romania, resistance movements, propaganda, the cult of personality of Nicolae Ceausescu. The exhibit has clear information written in Romanian and English languages and the staff is really friendly.Written August 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bob RBelgrade, Serbia554 contributionsReally lovely center of the town with beautiful buildings wherever you look! And they seem to be freshly painted.

- BrakiWorldTravelerBelgrade, Serbia17,509 contributionsWe didn't go inside the Opera to watch a performance, so I cannot comment on that.
Opera House is in my opinion more a historic place from whose balcony the Romanian Revolution was started in 1989. There's a commemorative plaque there.
It stands on the northern side of Piata Victorei (Victory square) opposite the beautiful Roman Orthodox Cathedral on the southern side.Written March 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The museum is really cool and the bar is so welcoming and cozy, especially during summer time. No matter whether you lived in a communist country or not, you will find the experience interesting.Written July 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Miloš Tanasković3 contributionsMall is really nice but prices are a bit high. Most of the workers there are not speaking english. In restaurants, menu is in romanian only and we had a hard time to order what we want. It would be nice to adjust it a bit more for tourists.Written September 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Régis GauthierRennes, France34 contributionsThis river is the center of recreation in Timisoara. Locals of this town kayak here, run, train, play tennis...

- Tiberiu_BaranyiTimisoara, Romania12,858 contributionsSpring - May - it is the ideal time to visit this park of Timisoara ... As the name is saying it is dedicated to roses - once there were more than 1200 roses here ... but also today it is worth a visit and when all the roses are blooming for sure it can be really nice.
It was created in the early 1900 buy too locals Wilhelm and Arpad Muhle - father and sun - as gift to the city , populated with roses of different colors and sized - some breeds created by Arpad himself.
It is maintained fairly decent ,although it could be much more to it ... and could be more spectacular than it is today .
The park with it's alleys can be a very nice place to stroll and unwind , especially in spring and in the middle of it there is a scene - and from time to time there are concerts held there - so it also has this function as a concert venue.
When you are in Timisoara - in spring .. mid May for instance check it out.Written June 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Now till the 28.05 the visitors can indulge there need for art with a very interesting exhibition of the works of the the Romanian born - in Piatra Neamt - painter and sculptor Victor Brauner's works.
I've been visiting in early march - what can I say - it was interesting - some of the works were really interesting , from some I didn't get anything, just gazed at those without getting any message - well probably my engineers mind cannot really grasp the artistic works (happened the same at Sibiu last year when I visited an expo of works of Dali and Goya, Goya was great , Dali I couldn't understand).
Overall a very nice, interesting and puzzling experience.
The entrance fee to visit the Brauner exhibition is 55 Ron/person - so like 10 Euros.
When you are in Timisoara go and check it out.Written March 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BrakiWorldTravelerBelgrade, Serbia17,509 contributionsOn one side of the central Uniri Square one will easily spot a row of vivid color painted houses built in Art Noveau and Secessionist style. The red, green and yellow houses seem belonging rather to central and northern Europe than to eastern.
It's a work of Hungarian architect and dates back to early 20c - very picturesque and nice.Written March 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You have a river on the side as well where you can walk all the way allong. They have very different things to do (karting, bicycling, etc). They have every step of the way things to do with an infant or a young child. Even as a grown up you cand go relax (or have a ride on the slide). Unfortunately the train is not working during the week(not sure if it’s working during the weekends).
If you want to have a nice day w your children, it is a place to go and it’s free entrance. 🎈Written August 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
