The direct WIZZ flights from Luton have brought Timisoara even closer, and together with quality hotels such as the Art Deco Savoy or the Art Nouveau Victoria it is an ideal city break destination.
Timisoara ('Temesvar') has always been a progressive, cosmopolitan city,facing West rather than East, so it was no surprise that the spark of the1989 Revolution was ignited here. Other claims include the first city with trams, the first in continental Europe with electric street lighting and the oldest hydro-electric station in Europe. It is also a very beautiful city with open squares, parks and gardens, elegant boutiques,cafes and and restaurants, and a wide variety of architecture, principally baroque, neo-classical and art nouveau, making it ideal for a short break or as a base for a longer holiday in western Romania. The focal point is the tall orthodox cathedral (1936-46 combining neo-byzantine and Moldavian elements) standing at the end of the main square, Piata Victoriei, overlooking the Bega Canal. The square is lined with impressive late secessionist apartment 'palaces'
