As Timișoara was crammed within a citadel, the old centre of the city is very walkable and has a circular plan, traced by lush parks and the Bega River to the south.
You’ll get to know why the city was sometimes called “Little Vienna” when you see the quantity of Secessionist buildings, and while they’re in different states of repair even those with a patina of age are still photogenic.
When the weather’s good it’s only a few steps to the next café or restaurant fronted by outdoor tables and parasols.
