U poseti Rumuniji i njenom najlepšem gradu Temišvaru!Visiting Romania and its most beautiful city, Timisoara!

Pre nekoliko dana me je prijatelj pozvao na turnir u stonom tenisu koji se održavao u Temišvaru. Put za Rumuniju mi se već učinio dovoljno privlačnim, a posebno druženje sa našim "komšijama" kroz sport. Nisam dugo razmišljala. Turnir je trebao da počne u 6 p.m a mi zbog obaveza krenuli smo knap verujući da ćemo stići na vreme. Shvatili smo to kao avanturu, uzeli pasoše i krenuli!
Vreme je bilo oblačno i očekivali smo kišu.

A few days ago, a friend invited me to a table tennis tournament held in Timisoara. The trip to Romania already seemed attractive enough to me, and especially socializing with our "neighbors" through sports. I didn't think long. The tournament was supposed to start at 6 p.m., and because of our commitments, we started early, believing that we would arrive on time. We took it as an adventure, took our passports and set off!
The weather was cloudy and we expected rain.

Stigli smo na dogovoreno mesto. Dočekao nas je prijatelj. S obzirom da smo kasnili nekoliko minuta, odmah smo počeli bez zagrevanja.

Svi su bili jaki protivnici ali ipak smo dobili neke medalje obukli se i krenuli u obilazak grada. Iako je padala kiša, hladno i već bila duboka noć, otišli smo u centar Temišvara da vidimo njegove najlepše delove
Prvo smo otišli do mosta ispod kojeg je proticala reka Begej.

All of them were strong opponents, but we still got some medals, got dressed and went on a tour of the city. Although it was raining, cold and already deep into the night, we went to the center of Timisoara to see its most beautiful parts
First we went to the bridge under which the river Begei flowed.

Temišvar je dobio naziv po reci Tamiš koja je nekad proticala kroz ovaj grad praveći često poplave. Kasnije je preusmerena i sada teče van grada. Sada postoji samo reka Begej koja je oivičena i popločana predivnim šetalištem. U reci se noću ogleda bezbroj uličnih lampi. Bajkovito zar ne?

Timisoara got its name from the river Tamis, which used to flow through this city, causing frequent floods. It was later diverted and now flows outside the city. Now there is only the river Begay, which is bordered and paved with a beautiful promenade. Countless street lamps are reflected in the river at night. Fairy tale isn't it?

Zatim smo otišli u najuži centar gde nas je dočekala prelepa fontana u nekoliko nivoa kao i prekrasne zgrade na koje je uticaj imala austrijska arhitektura. U poslednje vreme grad ulaže mnogo u renoviranje i očuvanje kulture. Najveći trg je trg Ujedinjenja. U Temišvaru blista arhitektura u baroknom stilu, dok se simultano grade crkve svih zastupljenih religija i poštuje etnička šarenolikost stanovništva.

Then we went to the innermost center where we were greeted by a beautiful fountain in several levels as well as beautiful buildings influenced by Austrian architecture. Recently, the city has been investing a lot in the renovation and preservation of culture. The largest square is the Unification Square. In Timişoara, baroque architecture shines, while churches of all represented religions are built simultaneously and the ethnic diversity of the population is respected.

Temišvar često nazivaju Mali Beč jer se austrijski uticaj oseća u svim aspektima kulture ovog grada. Od svih zgrada, meni se najviše dopala zgrada Opere. Pogledajte tu veličanstvenu lepotu fine arhitekture. Barokni stil je prisutan na svakom koraku.

Timisoara is often called Little Vienna because the Austrian influence is felt in all aspects of the city's culture. Of all the buildings, I liked the Opera House the most. Look at that majestic beauty of fine architecture. Baroque style is present at every step.

Ovaj grad vas sigurno neće ostaviti ravnodušnim, u Temišvar morate doći barem jedanput a onda ćete morati opet da se vratite. Čak su i hladni jesenji dani bili lepši u ulicama ovog grada koji spada u treći najveći grad u Rumuniji smešten na zapadu. Ulice su pune opalog žutog lišća koje je ličilo na žuti sneg kojeg su obasjavale elegantne ulične lampe.

This city will certainly not leave you indifferent, you must come to Timisoara at least once and then you will have to come back again. Even the cold autumn days were more beautiful in the streets of this city, which is the third largest city in Romania located in the west. The streets are full of fallen yellow leaves that looked like yellow snow illuminated by elegant street lamps.

Bogata istorija Temišvara i njegova velika raznovrsnost čine ovaj grad neodoljivim za turiste. Najvažnije znamenitosti se uglavnom nalaze blizu centra grada, što stvara utisak da je uži centar Temišvara jedan veliki muzej.
Žao mi je što nismo imali više vremena za obilazak ali zahvalna sam i na ovoj prilici. Najverovatnije da ćemo opet imati priliku već početkom decembra da opet igramo stoni tenis u Rumuniji ali ovog puta u Radu. Još jednom lepom i šarmantnom gradu u ovoj divnoj zemlji. Baš se radujem Do tada. . .👋👋👋

The rich history of Timisoara and its great diversity make this city irresistible for tourists. The most important sights are mostly located near the city center, which creates the impression that the center of Timisoara is one big museum.
I'm sorry we didn't have more time to tour, but I'm grateful for this opportunity. It is most likely that we will have the opportunity again at the beginning of December to play table tennis again in Romania, but this time in Rad. Another beautiful and charming city in this wonderful country. I'm really looking forward to it. Until then. . .👋👋👋
