Unirii Square, Transylvania, Romania

4.5 (852 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Transylvania Points of Interest & Landmarks

Timişoara's most notable square boasts colour and history, among some reputable places to dine.

The oldest square in Timişoara is without doubt Piata Unirii. Over history, the square hosted marches and religious processions. Now, it's a magnet for a smattering of day trippers and the area deserves plenty of recognition. Its spread of colourful buildings of varying architectural styles on all four sides are most impressive. Early afternoons in June one may easily have the square almost entirely to oneself. Hide under the awnings of restaurant misting systems and enjoy some separation in style. Evenings, locals come out in force to quench their thirst on outside seating that spill out from about a dozen slick restaurants. Union Square also hosts the Art Museum and two splendid 18th century, baroque churches, encircling a fluffy, green lawn and fountain.

    Relaxing mornings with coffee, sun and wonderful architecture
    Union Square, with its colorful buildingsand unique architecture is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. It's one of my favourite places for enjoying my morning coffee and a croissant. Nights are vibrant and during afternoons the terraces and restaurants offer a great variety of menus. However, I prefer the more quiet mornings when you can bathe in the sun at one of the terraces and just... seize the moment

    Very nice place
    Timisoara may not be regarded as an art city but I am sure things will change soon. Piata Unirii is going under a massive renovation. If you go there now, your panorama will be marred by scaffolding but once the makeover is over and done with, the square will be wounderful.
