General information

Trips and nature

The region combines plains, vineyards, river valleys, hills and mountain areas towards the Banat Mountains. The Danube gorges and spa landscapes add strong nature appeal.

Food and atmosphere

Timișoara is the main cultural centre, known for large squares, Secession architecture, revolutionary history and a confident urban feel. Smaller towns and villages add Central European and Balkan layers.

Transport and stay

Timișoara has an airport and rail links. A car is useful for the Danube, mountain villages, spas and cross-border routes towards Serbia or Hungary.
