- Timișoara, Romania is incredible. Let me just start by saying that.
We ended up extending our time in Timisoara when we return our rental car because we loved it so much! The city has 3 squares absolutely overflowing with interesting history and they are all in walking distance of each other. So we set out today to see all three squares and try and soak in the culture!
We visit Union Square (Piața Unirii) Liberty Square (Piața Libertății) and Victory Square (Piața Victoriei) We loved them all, even if the name of them escaped us sometimes!
Thanks for watching!

What a lovely place, loved the fact there was three town squares. My favourite bit was the umbrella’s, who came up with that idea, it looked amazing. Stay safe, miss you both, love you, mum.xx ☂️☂️
Love you miss you!
Hello, there are actually 4 town squares, the Opera Square, Union Square, Liberty Square and Traian Square. The last one is actually being redesigned and has the potential to be the prettiest of them all.
Yes, NOROC is the right word for cheers 🥂 and your pronunciation is very very Romanian! Congratulations!
NOROC means also "good luck ".
Wonderful video from my beautiful country, Romania!
❤️🇹🇩
Thank you and NOROC for this beautiful lady 🌹
Thanks for letting us know! ❤️
proud to be from timisoara
You should be! it's a beautiful place!
In Timisoara everyone goes to the three squares which are awesome yes but there are other nice atractions for example the old dam up the river and the area there with the stonehenge. It depends what you like. us from Timisoara we always thought it was a really boring city and its amaizing that tourists come to Timisoara. I guess maby because the central area is indeed big, plenty of space, there are parks in the central area, plenty of pubs with good food, some events there, some nice architecture, animated area at night with some music and concerts. I guess the atraction is that everything is close in the central area where there are also parks and you can easely get to the river also (im sure you went to the river and walked) where there is some live music as well and some parties. Surprisingly in other big european cities, it was hard to find a party and there were less squares close to another with no cars around. Surprinsingly there is a lot of space in the central area in TImisoara, because that area was designed under a military rule which meant large spaces for armies to move. TImisoara was last built basically as a military fortress. The large squares were necesarry for troops to deploy under necesity. The center of the city was a square done afterwards so its a bonus square. The parks some of them were also built after demolishing the old walls.
I guess the city has some unique advantages, and its cool that all the objectives are in the central area. Because if that area wouldnt exist, there wouldnt be much to see in Timisoara or Timis. I mean yeah sure there are some other places in the city also if you walk towards Balcescu area. The city would have more potential if more historical areas would be fully renovated and if more trees were planted...
Its fascinating that tourists visit Timisoara because the city never ever in its history was touristic. In the communist area it was a factory type city and even before there were only factories and the military baracks. Before that there is the Medieval Castle which unfortunaly lies in degradation.
Timisoara also has very poor soroundings, no natural park, no big lake, no tourist atractions nearby just a big flat field with agriculture.
I thought that Timisoara sucks when it comes to public bathrooms but i went to barcelona and find NONE. at least in TM there are a few.
Unfortunally Timisoara is suffocated by cars (sure if you only visit the central area you might not feel it), has very few parking spaces, the drivers are a mess...
I guess the mall is big has like a suspended garden there which is nice, some trees, the foodcourt... and its also close to the center. In other European cities there were 100 different malls but no big one to say wow. In Timisoara its a nice mall and you can visit it just for the garden and the music outside which is nice.
Timisoara is a city that has a definitely nicer and more interesting center contrasting very hard to some new areas. I mean sure, you can say that about any city mostly
Woah thanks for all the information!
Wow amazing place. Most beautiful city
It really is!
Yes.....ist amazing place
Should have taken 5 minutes to visit Timisoara cathedral across the street..I think non-ortodox people feel it looks really pretty as all the walls are painted and there is a lot of goldish things and decor.
Sounds like a good excuse to come back! 😉
So great you're having fun, there's a lot to explore, and make sure you're enjoying it to the max! Ps. fun fact. Timisoara is not a small town, it's actually in the top 100 biggest european cities and third on a national level. It's actually a pretty big city, at least for european standards.
Woah!! We did not know that at all! I guess we only really saw the inner city and didn't venture very far out, but that's crazy! Thanks for letting us know 😀
It's so great in Romania, we just finished exploring the apuseni mountain region and it was just so beautiful! 👌
@@JordanandEmily Also, don't miss out on Cluj, Sighișoara, Brașov and Sibiu, they're a must see.
I live in Timisoara, the Bega river is beautiful...
We didn't get to see much of the river 😔 Gives us a good excuse to go back though!
Send you much love again! Beautiful ppl, beautiful video ! Wellcome in România! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
😊 thanks so much!!
Your video always give such a positive atmosphere,I admire the effort and time put in these aesthetically pleasing vlog.Thank's guys !!❤️
Thanks so much! We are really glad you like them! Comments like this really keep us motivated! 😊
I am not sure of the exact date of your visit to the city, but 3rd of August is the city anniversary and usually between 1st and 3rd of August there are celebrations with parades and concerts. It celebrates the date when the Banat region was unified with Romania in 1919. The city area seems to be inhabited since before the roman occupation and later is being mentioned as the roman castrum Temesiensis. Over the years the city has been under ottoman and Austro-Hungarian occupation and the area surrounding it was a huge marshland. This is the reason why the black plague hit the city many times, taking with it a lot of lives. The statues from Union and Liberty square commemorate the victims fallen to the plague. This is also the reason why you can find here the oldest beer factory in Romania, built in 1718. Drinking beer was safer than water, since you had to filter the water in the beer making process. It wasn't until the 19th century when the Habsburgs created the Bega canal that is going through the middle of the city and a lot of other hydro-graphical projects were done to drain the surrounding marshlands.
Wow! Thank you so much for letting us know all of this - we honestly love hearing all of these facts that seem to pass us by.
Will definitely have to add the oldest beer factory to the list for when we come back to Romania 🤞
Your travel Vlog is beautiful. I see this videos first from Bangladesh .
Thank you so much! We hope to visit Bangladesh one day ❤️
Muy bonito video!
Timisoara es preciosa!
Saludos!👋🏻
Great video! Enjoy your day guys
Thank you Suay! 😊
Beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
I see a couple umbrellas were broken, I was there when it happened, there was a storm at the end of July. You must have been in town just days later, which would also explain the flags: August 3 is Timișoara Day!
Must have been! Oooohhh we didn't know it was Timisoara day!
No mustard with the mici? Regardless, looks beautiful there and is on my list to visit this spring when I head to Romania for ~1 month!
whoops! Haha you'll have such a great time! We spent about 3 weeks there and had a blast ☺️
I am watching your travel from the beginning. Thank you so much for being so real and natural in front of the camera. I have stopped watching other couples who have become exaggerated in every reaction and stop seeming real.
Wow! this is such an amazing comment to get 😊Thank you so much for following along and I hope we can keep being real!
You’re so funny guys 😍, good idea traveling far from home, I hope to visit Australia soon
It is an amazing country! Just so far away 😂
@@JordanandEmily ….and especially very expensive from what I’ve heard (I know few Aussies living in Monaco and around)……well, I lived on the French Riviera in the last 12 years (after living in about 7 countries in Europe), in case you need tips&tricks when visiting .
Good
😊 thanks so much!
This looks like a lovely country to explore. I want to visit Lasi at some point. The history there looks amazing too
Just googled Last, it looks so good! we spent 2 weeks road tripping around the Transylvania region and fell in love with it. Already making plans to go back and see more of the east and south so I have no doubt we will see Lasi then too!
Thanks for the recommendation :)
@@JordanandEmily something to look forward too. I love seeing you try the local food. I would do the same when I travelled. It’s more of an adventure. Those sausages tonight looked very tasty Now I know why you both do so much walking. Looking forward to the next video. Take care and enjoy!
@@shirleymayes9817 Thanks for watching 😊 really appreciate it! 😊
@@JordanandEmily have you guys been to Oradea, Cluj-Napoca, Sibiu, Sighisoara and Brasov in Transylvania region? Then in Wallachia you should go to Sinaia town and visit Peles Castle or to Busteni town to Cantacuzino Castle. Btw there's no city in Romania called Lasi or Last, maybe you guys meant Iasi.
@@Zdamaneta we did see sighisoara, might be our favourite city that we've seen in Romania! We also saw Sibiu but didn't film and we got to Brasov, managed to film in Rasnov and the surroundings but we got rained out trying to capture Brasov city! We're genuinely happy that we missed a lot though because we already want to go back!
welcome to my city
Thank you so much!
noroc 🍺cheers
😄 Noroc!
Hi guys! I really appreciated your video. Did you know that the actual mayor of Timisoara is a German from Baden-Wurttemberg and his name is Dominic Fritz? Yes is possible because Romana is a part of European Union. Greetings from Romania guys!
We didn't know! Who ever he seems to be doing well with Timisoara!
Thanks for letting us know and folwijg along our Romania adventures! 😊
@@JordanandEmily actually not but no-one dare to say something bad about a German citizen in Romania. Looks like you would find a bad Mercedes for some romanians! 🙄
@@ionelghiorghita688 oh gosh - that’s no good to hear
Yes! Chears in romanian " NOROC" 🥰
NOROC!! 😊
Timișoara is nice but please visit Oradea Cluj Sibiu and not forget BRAȘOV who is my favorite town!!!
We got to Sibiu! It was amazing but we didn't film 😞 but we did to the region of Brasov! Just posted that video yesterday 😀
Aaaaaand it was amazing 😄
@@JordanandEmily nice!!!
I can t find the video with Brașov city but i will try again and again😊😊😊
I really miss Brașov❤❤❤
Only transylvania?
@@vasilefeher2729 What else?
Brașov,the best beautifull city of România !!! ♥️💛💙
Really is special 😍
Hey guys! When are you posting the Sibiu video?
Unfortunately didn't film a video in Sibiu but we LOVED the town it was so cute!
Gives us a great excuse to come back to Romania though ;)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️👋
What app did you used to purchased the public transport by online ?
Hey! We used whichever website gave the best price 😆 so we changed a lot as we travelled!
Its interesting with the flag thing because right now the romnian flags were dropped:) it was a scandal...
As for the inhabited place, the area is inhabited since at least 6000 years ago, check the Parta Neolitic Sanctuary, Parta is near TImisoara. Also there are neolitic sanctuaries in Giroc also near Timisoara which are 5000 years old. Timisoara in its current form with the ex fortress exist since 1100 After Christ
That's such a long time! we stayed in a neolithic hut in Bulgaria but didn't know there would have been similar things in Romania!
It's not a small town 😂 it has 350000 population ...
omg 😂😂
It’s small compared to Sidney or Melbourne 😆
@@dr.perfectsmile4175 it doesnt matter The size of other cities. When Timișoara had electricity sidney or Melbourne were in the Stone age 🤣🤣🤣
500.000 cu studenti, etc, end mor 5 villages it 1 milion..
"In a small city in the Western side of Romania, called Timisoara" - Urban population - 315.000, metropolitan area 431.000 people. Practicly it's a vilage.
🤣 whoops

Open minded person I m from Cluj near Timisoara
Hello! 👋👋👋
It s small for you.This city ,is one of the biggest cities of Romania .so please ,research well before you are posting :p
You really need to reeditate this.Thank you for visiting Timisoara
😄 thank you! We just meant relative to other cities globally! But your right, it's certainly not small!
Small town????? 400 k population is hardly small 🫠
lol whoops!
It definitely feels smaller, in a good way, if that makes sense?
Like Adelaide (where we are from) feels like such a small city even though it has a HUGE population!
Aw really? It feels small? Thats very interesting :) anyway to me Timisoara feels like a big city as I am from a small town like 50 k population . Anywya you guys have cool vlogs xx
guess its all about personal perspective!
0:36 sorry, did you said small town? Timisoara is is the 3rd largest city in Romania, I suggest you to document yourself before saying nonsense.
Lol sorry we made a mistake?
@@JordanandEmily This time I forgive you😃
@@alinleonard9544 😆Thank you!
@@JordanandEmily I'm just kidding 😃
București nu Budapesta este capitala țării numită ROMÂNIA.
It certainly is!
Dissapointed we didn't get to see it though
Beautiful country, Rîmenia! Too bad it is inhabited...
@@stevecox228Rîmenia!? Analfabet man.
Its not a Town its a City with over 330 000 People. u didnt do ure homework before shooting The video. Its disrespectful.
Sorry! At what point does a town become a city!? Don't want to make this mistake again!
@@JordanandEmily well probably over 100 000 People. Its third in Romania or forth in therms of population
@@ionutvi6430 not sure if that's right! 😁 but it is the third not fourth most populace city! You didn't do your homework before commenting. It's disrespectful. 😉
@@JordanandEmily in Romania its a city. If u check on Wikipedia it says The first CITY with electric lights on the street, third in the World after New York and París. It doesnt say first town. Check top 100 cityes in europe by population Timișoara is at the bottom.
@@ionutvi6430 okay. Thanks for letting us know
Have a nice day!
I don't think Romanian proud their country ( scam, pickpocketing )
I think they are!

you again spreading bullsh...all over the place. wherever is a nice video of Romania hop , here u are spreading bulls...hit. I can point you with thousands of articles videos to prove you wrong but thats no point. Ur just here for the hate...one fact i will tell you though, u were the invaders not us, and we were taking our land back, and thats it!
@@JordanandEmily pls don't mind that troll, its all over the place to spread lies about my country. The truth it's this, and u will find it in every history book, even in some hungarians books: we were here first 2000 years ago, they conquered us, and then we take it back. Its simple as this. Btw i'm from Timisoara. Thx for the nice video!
@@JordanandEmily that is a well known hungarian troll. don't answer or delete the comment unless u don't want your comment section turned into a nasty nationalistic talk. I tell u this, sice i 've seen his "work" on other chanels

interesting city
Really is!
Imagine actual Living in this town ....
