Quaint Timisoara: Baroque Romanian city that deposed Ceausescu

Описание к видео Quaint Timisoara: Baroque Romanian city that deposed Ceausescu

Join me on a delightful Timisoara city tour, the European Capital of Culture 2021/2023 (why 3 years in a row?), where we'll witness the majestic grandeur of the largest churches of two faiths, the poignant Plague Pillar, and the Bishop's Palace, which is sometimes associated with a bookstore. It's all about Timisoara, a city that might not have been on your radar until now!

Let us make it clear: is Romania all about gypsies? No, it is not! I will talk about this too. Timisoara is a lovely mix of all kinds of cultures and religions: from French to Hungarian and from Jews to Christians.

Picture a charming street adorned with umbrellas, a monument to a Christian saint standing in the remains of a mosque, and cobblestone streets lined with cinematically charming houses, reminiscent of a bygone era. And if that's not enough, prepare to be amazed by the unexpected beauty of green oases nestled amidst bustling squares.

But why read about it? Let me whisk you away on this visual adventure! Oh, and by the way, I'll also share some insights into the roads of Romania and why brushing up on traffic rules is a must when exploring this beautiful country by car. Get ready for a journey filled with sights, sounds, and a dash of history!
