Timișoara, Romania | A Rainy Day Adventure with Burgers and Pigeons

🌧️ A Stroll Through the "Little Vienna" Under the soft drizzle of Timișoara, I discovered— Colorful Serbian-style architecture: Baroque facades from the Austro-Hungarian era glowing in the rain Puddles in Revolution Square: Reflecting Europe’s first electric streetlights (since 1884!) A 3-lei treasure hunt: Hand-embroidered fridge magnets from a local grandma—half the price of Budapest souvenirs ⛪ The Metropolitan Cathedral: A Byzantine Masterpiece One of the tallest Orthodox cathedrals (83 meters) Hidden gems inside: An 11-ton chandelier + 2,000 sacred icons Free rooftop access: Climb the spiral staircase for panoramic views of red-tiled rooftops 🍔 The Great Burger Showdown 📍 Bulldog Burger (Open 24/7!) Black squid ink burger: Spicy beef patty + blue cheese sauce = flavor explosion Pigeon diplomacy: They’ll stare with one eye, inch closer… until you surrender your fries 🍖 A Taste of Romania’s Soul 📍 Restaurant Tinecz Sarmale: Tender lamb wrapped in vine leaves, slow-cooked for 5 hours, served with sour cream and polenta Secret order: The waiter’s homemade plum brandy (Țuică)—one shot warms you right up! 💡 Travel Trivia Timișoara sparked the 1989 Romanian Revolution Tap water here is Carpathian mountain fresh (safe to drink!) Hop on tram 8 for €0.70 and travel through centuries #EasternEuropeEats #RainyDayMagic #CityOfRevolutions
