My heart will forever be in Timisoara

Some facts
Timisoara is in the region of Banat in Romania. Many people living here speak both Romanian and Serbian. The city is an upbeat lively city that has a number of museums, ancient cathedrals, monuments and parks that are worth a visit!

Historic Timisoara is organized like a cross, with Piata Libertatii at the heart .
Piata Libertatii is Timisoara's most popular and centrally located hangout, filled with cafes, supermarkets and beer patios.
Blvd. 16th December, a pedestrian walkway that opens onto Piata Libertatii is also a great place to grab an ice cream or a beer.

Piata Unirii , 110 yards north of Piata Libertatii is Timisoara's main meeting place, a quiet square lined with amber, orange and blazing-red 18th century apartments.

Interestingly...
Timisoara was the FIRST city in Romania to be free of communism on December 20th 1989!!!
