Itinerary
This is the place where we had 3 different castles built, and the last one built in 1856 is still standing today
Here we'll talk about Ottoman times, what happened then, how long was the city under ottoman reign and what happened with all the buildings that were build back then.
Continuing our story about the Ottoman period, here we'll see more interesting things from those times but also talk about Saint George
Going further in time, we'll get to see the only piece we have left of the former fortress of Timisoara and talk a bit about what happened after Ottoman times.
Surely the most beautiful square in town, Unirii square also has an interesting story with many special buildings here that we will get to talk about.
Coming back to Liberty Square, we'll talk about other buildings that we find here, but also about the statue that we find right in the middle of the square.
Our tour will end here, but not before exploring this beautiful XXth century square and talk about the Romanian Revolution from 1989 against the communism regime.

Even though it was very cold and I was the only one who was on the tour, Marius was a wonderful guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and it is so nice that he grew up in Timișoara so he really knew the city and had great stories to include in the tour. Sadly, I only had one day in Timișoara, but I plan to return and hope I have Marius as a guide again.
We learned some important history while walking through beautiful squares and streets. Easy pace, basically flat walking
Highly recommended both for first timers in Timisoara, as well as if you live in the city and want to know more about the community you are building yourself the history everyday.
You'll thank yourself for doing this guided tour right at the beginning of your stay in Timișoara. The tour is an easy walk touching the main attractions and landmarks. It is a concise package of architecture, history and cultural insights delivered into fun but competent manner. Afterwards you not only enjoy the city walks but you also understand the significance of the places. Take it, you will not regret!

Thank you for your thoughts, happy you liked it!
The city tour in Timișoara was one of the fun activities we did during our work trip to this beautiful city. Our guide, Ludovic, made it really interesting and fun – he knows so much about both the old and recent history, and he shared it all in a way that kept us engaged the whole time. On top of that, he was super friendly and had a great sense of humor, which made the tour even better :) I also really appreciated his excellent English – it was super clear and easy to follow, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you want to visit and to learn more about this amazing place, I can totally recommend this tour <3
Excellent Sergiu was very knowledgeable ,attentive and very helpful Real professional guide Essential tour for old city,2 hours well spended
My partner and I had such a great time on this walking tour! Sergiu was very knowledgeable—we learned so many fascinating facts and stories that we never would’ve discovered on our own. The pace was perfect, and we appreciated how they took the time to answer questions. We both walked away feeling like we got so much more than just a tour—it was a real highlight of our trip!
Great overview of Timisoara and its history. Sergui is very knowledgeable about the area and sets a nice pace for the tour.
