Things to Do in Timisoara in a Weekend, Timisoara, Romania

Before we get to the things to do in Timișoara in a weekend, here’s a bit of a back story. As some of you might know, on 28 November I went for the last time at my office job, in order to get ready for whatever Mathieu’s contract brings our way. (We’ll find out this month, so fingers crossed!) As the following weekend was a long one for people working in Romania, he made me choose a place to go on a small holiday, to celebrate my newfound freedom. I looked and looked, and chose Timișoara. But what about Italy? he kept asking. Nope. It’s going to be cold, if we’re going to Italy it should be warm enough to spend a long time outside and not feel sorry for how little we end up visiting in a new place at the end of the weekend. So we went with Timișoara, to also be in Romania for its centennial anniversary celebrations. And it’s great that we did so, as we ended up with a new favorite destination in Romania! 

Well, maybe I’ll be biased when writing about the things to do in Timișoara in a weekend. This is the town where Mathieu asked me to marry him on the day of our arrival. (Actually, I think in less than half an hour from our arrival in Timișoara!) This is the place where I spent my first days as the future Mrs. Mirela Letailleur. (I love the alliteration!) ......
