The blooming flower square!
All major landmarks of Timisoara are within a walking distance in the Old Town. Piata Victoriei is between the Orthodox Cathedral and the Opera house. Victory Square looks great in spring when all the flowers blooming.

Christmas fair in Timisoara - Dec 2022.
For sure Victoriei square in Timisoara is one of the cities landmarks - however this time the review is focused on the holiday season and the Christmas fair. So for sure the period of early December till the end of the year is one of the periods when most cities a lit by the millions of LED's of Christmas decorations and Timisoara ain't no different. Now for several years in a row the Victoriei square is housing the Christmas fair - lot of lights, booth with souvenirs, snacks, cold and mostly hot drinks are being available for the travelers (and locals) for sampling at price. In 2022 was no difference - nice decorations (above expectation - to be honest) were decorating the square from the Opera to the Cathedral in very nice way (indeed Timisoara is preparing for 2023 when it is going to be the cultural capital of Europe - one of them at least - for the whole year). So if you are searching for a reason to visit the city that had "adopted" me, 2 decades ago the period of December might be very interesting.
