Located on the Bega River, Timi\u0219oara is considered the informal capital city of the historical Banat region. Timi\u0219oara is a multicultural city, home to 21 ethnic groups and 18 religious denominations. Historically, the most numerous were the Swabian Germans, Jews and Hungarians, who still make up 6% of the population here (…<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A progressive, cosmopolitan place, Timisoara was the first city in Europe and second in the world, after New York, to use electricity to illuminate its streets. In 1869 Timi\u0219oara introduced public transport with horse-drawn trams, a premiere in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its mild climate, Timisoara has lots of public squares and lush green retreats. The city is easy to explore on foot. Timisoara abounds with churches of several denominations, a Jewish quarter, an elegant baroque square and a pedestrian-only downtown area. Some of the monuments in the heart of the city afford panoramic views, while the many parks in this “city of flowers” provide an idyllic spot to take a break from sightseeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023 Timi\u015foara was European Capital of Culture that was a whole process, not just an event. The innovative cultural programme prepared for the year 2023 assumed the mission of actively contributing to the valorization of Timi\u0219oara’s identity, diversity, creativity, and cultural avant-garde as engines for sustainable community development (\u2026<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
