What to do and see in Timisoara, Transylvania: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

January 2, 2022 Jana Sager

Charming Timisoara is often referred to as “Little Vienna,” and indeed, Austrian influences are evident in the architecture, food and culture. This is a walking city, divided into squares that showcase stunning architectural gems. Downtown is reserved for pedestrians only, and the best time to visit is at twilight, when you can sip a hot wine as you stroll amid sparkling lights.

ExitGames Timisoara

A reality adventure game where a team of players (2 to 6 people) has to escape a locked room by solving different puzzles and mysteries using the clues found in the room in 60 minutes. To succeed, the team needs to have good communication between its members. Our game designs are specifically based on certain discoveries in the area of psychology, the goal is to achieve a high level of player immersion in the game so that the participants may reach the so-called FLOW state. That certain mental state, when people are so absorbed by an activity that nothing else seems to bother them; that experience itself is so pleasant that the people will try to repeat it no matter what, just for the sake of the doing it” - Mihály Csikszentmihályi researcher in the field of psychology, who first defined the FLOW concept

We played the Tesla room and had a lot of fun. We actually found the room kind of hard but the game master was very nice and gave us some extra helpful hints. We managed to escape at the very last minute. The puzzles are well built and very fun. You should definitely try the room.

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.

Timisoara Orthodox Cathedral

Reviewed By manderjones - England, United Kingdom

It would be a shame to make a visit to Timişoara without stopping by the the most impressive construction in town - Metropolitan Church. At first glance you could easily be beguiled into thinking it's older than it actually is. In fact, it was only completed two years into the Second World War in Moldovian style. There are prominent features of Byzantine architecture and the inside exudes sheer opulence. Besides marking the central point in town, its chimes reverberate around the city. The cathedral is built upon 5,000 oak supports and can house the same number of people. Inside display relics and many religious artifacts.
