26th July Timisoara Romania

Timisoara square

romulous and remus in centre park

Timisoara is the birthplace of the 1989 revolution and the 4th largest city in Romania it is also famous as the city of flowers and parks. After having an ice cream in The Park Of Roses we wondered around the city which is unique as it has two large squares and was built on a swamp. The city had some lovely old buildings and many had clocks on the top, all said a different time but we weren’t surprised by this in the slightest .We were surprised however to stumble upon a street lamp which indicated that Timisoara was the first city in Europe to have electrical street lighting back in 1884.
At night we went for dinner in a pizzeria and randomly ordered two pizzas off the menu, apart from pizza we didn’t have a clue what we were ordering as the menu was in Romanian and the waiter didn’t speak any English, luckily both pizzas were nice.
