Timișoara! A city that inspires a multitude of states, emotions, moments, and experiences.

Trying to define the city, you discover that Timișoara is actually far from any stereotype. The city expresses diversity, energy, courage, creativity, and initiative.

A mix of cultural influences, from music and art to gastronomy and architecture.

Or, as we like to say, unity through diversity.

Timișoara was and is an open-minded city, and one thing stands out: freedom - of movement, of expression, of being as you are.
