Plan the whole thing

Five guides, each one walked and timed. Where a guide gives a price it carries the month it was checked, and where a plan has a weak point we say so instead of smoothing it over.

Itinerary 3 200 words Three days in Timișoara Hour by hour: the squares on day one, 1989 and Fabric on day two, the river and the forest on day three, with one evening at the Opera. Read the guide → Road trip 3 600 words The Banat loop in a week City, Recaș cellars, the Caraș-Severin hills, the Danube at the Iron Gates and back — driving times, fuel, and which nights are worth a hotel rather than a guesthouse. Read the guide → Transport 2 100 words Getting around without a car Trams and trolleybuses, how to buy a ticket that actually validates, the day pass maths, the airport express and when a taxi is genuinely the cheaper option. Read the guide → Money 2 400 words Four nights on a budget What a coffee, a tram, a market breakfast, a sit-down dinner and a bed cost in lei — with a worked four-night total and the two places people overspend. Read the guide → On foot 1 900 words The 1989 walk Ninety minutes, eleven plaques, Elisabetin to the Opera balcony. What happened at each stop and what is there now. Read the guide →

Before you book anything

Three nights is the honest minimum Two nights means choosing between the squares and the quarters. Three lets you have both without a forced march.
Book the theatre first The three state companies share one house, so a good night sells out before the hotels do. Check the calendar before your dates are fixed.
Prices move, medians hold Everything here is dated. Use the medians for planning and the live search for the actual booking.

Sleep in Cetate, wake up in the squares

Median €55 midweek, September 2026. Nobody pays to be on this list.
