In 1989, a protest in Timisoara triggered a chain of uprisings across the country that ultimately resulted in the execution of Romania’s president, Nicolae Ceausescu, and the fall of Communism in this sector of the Eastern Bloc. This western Romanian city is not only an integral location when it comes to its country’s contemporary history; Timisoara is a cultural capital known for its innovative energy, cosmopolitan lifestyle and countless historic and artistic attractions that lures travellers to the city.
As the first city to run on hydroelectric power and to light its streets with electric lamps, it’s no surprise that Timisoara continues in its tradition of breaking ground or putting a new spin on trends and technology.

Visitors to Timisoara will find themselves in a city that embraces change while paying tribute to its turbulent past: Museums here showcase everything having to do with Romanian culture, from old homesteads in the Banat province to the latest projects commissioned by Timisoara’s most noteworthy artists at the galleries in the city centre.
