Description
For some tours there may be a difference between arrival and departure times, depending on your schedule. Tours are calculated on the days actually spent in the destination city and do not take into account arrival and departure days. Please take 2 days in advance of the tour to ensure the most enjoyable experience.
In the heart of Banat, where history blends harmoniously with modernity, we invite you to explore Timișoara, a city of ravishing beauty, on a 3-day tour combining cultural discovery with gastronomic adventure. This itinerary is designed to give you an authentic experience, full of colour and taste, in one of Romania's most vibrant cities.
From the cobbled streets of the historic centre, adorned with Baroque and Secessionist architecture, to the green parks, where nature and urban art create a dreamlike landscape, Timișoara reveals itself as an open book, waiting to be read. We suggest you start with Unirii Square, the old heart of the city, where early morning coffees and colourful buildings will delight your eyes and spirit.
It's not just your eyes that will be spoilt, but also your taste buds. The gastronomy of the region, with influences ranging from Austrian to Serbian, promises to be a culinary adventure. You'll have the chance to sample bean soup served in bread, traditional Baveno pies, chicken paprika or sarmale, in a culinary tour that combines tradition with innovation.
Besides the culinary delights, the tour will also give you a solid dose of culture and history. A visit to Huniade Castle and the Museum of Art will open a window to Timișoara's rich past and vibrant present. Last but not least, a trip to the wine cellars of Recaș will introduce you to the world of wines from the region, renowned for their exceptional quality.
The accommodation, carefully chosen to offer comfort at an affordable price, will be your oasis of peace and relaxation after days of exploration. With a well-thought-out budget, not to exceed €100 per day, this tour is designed to be affordable, but without compromising the authentic experience and richness of discovery.
Transport in and around the city is easy and accessible, allowing you to move nimbly from one attraction to another. Whether you choose public transport, cycling or walking, Timisoara is a friendly city, ready to welcome you with open arms.
This tour is not just a journey, but an immersion in Romanian culture, history and gastronomy, giving you the opportunity to experience Timișoara at its best. Are you ready to step into a world where every day is an adventure, every meal a story and every street corner a discovery? The adventure of the city awaits you!
