Timișoara

The second largest city in Romania and the most important economic and cultural center in the western part of the country, Timisoara is a delight to the travelers' eye. It is also know under the name of "Little Vienna", due to the very long period under the Habsburg Empire. The buildings in the center of the city have been built in the Kaiser era and they resemble a lot to old Vienna. The city abounds with churches, a Jewish quarter, a baroque square and a pedestrian downtown area.
