Timisoara: Boat Rides, Walks and a Touch of Nostalgia, Timisoara, Romania
For those who have been following my travels in 2018, I was doing a 50 Days Road trip across 15 countries during the summer with Cez.
One of the pit stops along the trip was at this lovely little town of Timisoara in Romania. Unlike most tourists who usually visit Bucharest, the capital of Romania, I ended up roaming the streets of the pretty little town of Timi葯oara.
Like many other small untouched towns in the Balkans,聽Timisoara聽has a particular charm that was waiting to be discovered.
You can see that in the restored buildings all around the town. A part of the Banat region, the city has registered an important number of milestones over the years. It was the first city in the country of Romania to have electrical lit streets, the first electrical tramway and also houses the oldest beer factory in the country.聽

People living here spend more time enjoying the little things/ hobbies that really bring joy.
