The Guardian: Timisoara and the new face of Romania
"It was in Timisoara that a week of protests led to the downfall of Ceausescu. Twenty years on, this bright, culturaly eclectic city proves there's more to urban Romania than brutal tower blocks", The Guardian, about Timisoara, Romania.
The article from The Guardian also tells that Romania had to struggle to become a tourist sell. It's fair that the country side from Romania, as we Romanians know, expansed verry much in the past years. Like every country the game played by Romania is related to the social environment and the quality of life that must be at the European standards today. Also the economical issues are important in this aspect of evolution.
Alongside Cluj-Napoca, Sibiu and Bucharest, Timisoara is a city placed in the cultural chapter of Romania's best eclectic and cultural offering.
The theaters, festivals and live music concerts calendar are impressive and the views maybe aren't like in the fairytales we all listened in the childhood but the beauty is certanly there. Like in other parts of the world, the evolution does not start in five minutes and after twenty it's done. It's true that Romania is a country that needs more resources but this country needs certainly some conscientious people in the institutions that have the power.
The marketing tag of Timisoara is "Little Vienna". Even there's a wealth of genuinely grand Habsburg buildings, "the city's too much of a rough diamond for the comparison to be apt. This is not necessarily a bad thing. The handsome, cracked grandeur of the centre makes for a stirring backdrop, tourist traps are almost non-existent and costs are low", The Guardian.
As the autor of the article wrote Timisoara is a great an cheap place to spend some time if you like the live music, if you are curious to visit cultural places and also if you like to party all night, there are lots of places for that too.
