Strange place Timișoara, such a mixture of architecture, classical, communist, modern and all sorts. I think it's got to do with it's complex but interesting history, it's been in, USSR, ottoman empire, Turkish, Hungarian, Austrian, German, Serbian, Croatian, Roman, Dacian and God knows who else but each have left a mark here. There is eighteen different religions recognised here as well. Interesting crossroads with a colourful history, not much to do here, there is a nice new water attraction which is reasonably priced, there's a lot of coffee shops, a few churches and that's about it. Overall we found eating out reasonably good, fairly good value and kind of minimalist, no ketchup at one venue, the people are plesent and willing to chat to you, and mostly friendly and we found the city to be safe and family friendly as well. It's not on the tourist trail but has everything you could want and not spoilt with dozens of souviner sellers or restaurants with photos of the food on the menu. It does have one of the nicest shopping malls I've ever seen, Iulius Town, well worth a visit, and the food hall is beautiful. I also must praise the local municipal government for the cleanliness of the squares and parks and streets its a credit to all, something they should be very proud of, a litter bin literally every 20 meters. Well done. Overall if you happen to find yourself here I'm sure you will have a positive experience and enjoy your stay.
