What makes Timisoara, Romania so delightful? R O
I begin a series of videos from Romania in the delightful city of Timisoara, the country’s most celebrated cultural and educational center and ground zero for the 1989 revolution that overthrew 4-1/2 decades of communist rule.
I arrived here by train from Hungary to a marvelously walkable city filled with lively pedestrian streets connecting the three major plazas around which the town is laid out. To venture farther afield one need only hop aboard one of the water taxis that ply the Bega River (canal) that divides the city and connects with neighboring Serbia a few miles to the west.

awesome historical explanations for a much better understanding the city, congratulations.
Well documented video. You should also visit Oradea it's only 2 hours drive from Timisoara.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep it in mind for my next visit.
There is so much history in that region... Various empires and monarchies ruled there, you can still see much of their influence in their old architecture and buildings... Even the ancient Romans got a foothold there...
What a beautiful city. Commuting on the river sure beats smelly traffic jams and expensive parking. Unusual Botanical gardens! Thanks, Ron!

Yes, thanks Rasalt. I've heard Serbs refer to the city as Temesvar so I'm assuming that may be a Serbian pronunciation. 👍🏻

@@tromfserbians call it Temisvar not Temiswar but close enough
2:33 The actual population of the city is a little over 330.000, but the romanian census was very poorly done so more than 25% of Timisoara's population was not reviewed, also a lot of people from the neighboring counties work and live in Timisoara, but their residence is declared to be in their hometowns. Therefore the average tourist might notice that the city seems way more populous than it's said to be. With the metropolitan area the overall population might surpass 800.000. Great video though!
The Romanians are not descended from the people who formed the Roman legions who occupied only 14% of the territory of Getia for 175 years. The Romanians are the descendants of the primordial population on Earth. There is a Museum in Timisoara for the 'sanctuary from Parta' (locality 18 km away from Timisoara) having an age of approx. 6000 years. For foundation of Rome see mytological story of the Thracian - Getae from Troy, Eneas and the twins Romulus and Remus. The Getae were the bravest and most righteous of the Thracians - Herodot.
Did you say "Cocesco" ( Nicolae Ceaușescu ) lol?

Really nice video though!
I hope you are well. Visiting your channel I have seen your all videos and content are very good but your video SEO optimization is not professional. Perhaps you are busy for managing the channel.

Maybe,but his explanations about the history of the places he visits makes him superior by a lot to superficial influencers who barely know in what contury and city they are
