AT THE END

SOURCES

When we visited Timisoara (Volume 1) the first time, it was clear: we need to come back. The rose blooms and the many parks have led to Timisoara's nickname "City of Roses". Of particular note is the impressive village museum, which is located in the grounds of the hunting forest.

Maps and satellite images: Google Maps and Google Earth, dates and historical data from Timisoara Wikipedia.

During this visit, it is hard to emphasize what we liked most: the stunning view of the square in front of the Opera House from our balcony at the Hotel Timisoara, the fragrant rose garden, the green and tranquil parks in the city, the spacious and originally decorated Village Museum, or the recovery factor at the Hotel Lido, by which we were able to complete the journey. To all the friends and companies that contributed to the production of this book: thank you very much.
