7. Unirii Square

Reviewed By Tiberiu_Baranyi - Timisoara, Romania
If somebody would ask me to single out a spot in this beautiful city where I live I would say the "Unirii Square" - or Union Square if you like it more. It is one of the oldest squares in the city - in 1716 Eugen of Savoy liberated the city from the ottoman rule and with that started more than 2 centuries of Habsburg rule and also it began the transformation and rebuilding of the city. In Unirii Square you have most likely the greatest concentration of historical buildings , just to mention a few: - the Catholic Dome - built in the 18th century - 1774 it was finished. - the Baroque Palace - obviously built in a baroque style - over the centuries was hosting historical figures like Franz Joseph of Austria and the Royal Romanian couple King Ferdinand of Romania and Queen Mary of Romania. Nowadays is the home for the Art Museum of Timisoara. - the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral - built in 1748. - the Bruck House - built in Secession style. - the monument of the Holy Trinity - built after the bubonic plague ended in Banat ( 1731-1738 the plague was devastating the Banat region - the region where Timisoara is situated). This above are just a few of the buildings worth checking out. Also for those looking for a place to eat there are several restaurants : - the Drunken Rat - Pepper - In Thyme - Bistro M Just to mention a few of the places. (at the bottom I've chosen 3+ hours for the visit because I was considering that the average traveler will sit down for a few beers and have something to eat also, but for a fast visit you can do it in under 1 hour) A lot of things to see if you want to take a walk - several restaurants to choose from if you want to have lunch or dinner. So, once this world gets back to normal and you come again to visit Timisoara - come and check out Unirii Square, maybe you'll see me there too.
8. Castelul Corvinilor

When you go to Romania, one of the main things you want to see are their castles. We visited three of their castles, and Hunedoara Castle or also called Corvin Castle was by far the best of the three. (See my other reviews of the other two, Dracula's Castle (Bran Castle) and Peles Castle.) Welcome to Transylvania! Corvin Castle starts out wonderfully exciting with your first glimpse of the outside of this great Medieval Castle with all of the bells and whistles one would describe of it's architecture and stonework. Before you go inside, take a great picture with the Castle behind you. I just loved roaming around every space here, large and small, up and down, everywhere we looked, was an interesting adventure. It really is a great example of what you want to see when you explore a Medieval Castle. We really took some great pictures. Some of the spots are a little difficult with the lighting, but we managed anyway. Don't miss this one, you will love it.

Reviewed By 856dianam - Heidelberg, Germany
Communism destroyed a lot of the city's monuments, the beautiful edifices of this square were left for decay. Lucky Timisoara will be European Cultural capital 2021 and is making efforts to show itself from its best side. Visiting in the later half of 2020 will have you encounter more construction sites and buildings under renovation than you probably fancy. Just a warning. The square features a mix of architectural styles, the Hapsburg era being the most prevalent. Even if not in need of medication pay a visit to the only pharmacy in the square, it still has all original apothecary interior. The Serbian episcopacy and St. George's cathedral are testimony of the peaceful melting pot that this part of Romania has always been. Don't miss. The bars and restaurants will provide a lovely break and chance to people watch.
