Timisoara ca oras ofera o groaza de atractii turistice. Bastionul (care acum e in refacere), vechile cladiri ca Domul Catolic, Catedrala Mitropolitana, Opera, vechile cladiri din centru, Teatrul German, Teatrul Maghiar si chiar Sinagoga din Piata Traian. Mai sunt si altele e clar.
Dar dupa ce le vizitezi trebuie sa mai si stai pe undeva. Trebuie sa iti cauti cazare in timisoara. Sunt o groaza de hoteluri si pensiuni prin oras, unele mai mici, altele mai mari, altele de 5 stele, altele dubioase.
Cele mai "ocupate" zone din punct de vedere al hotelurilor sunt calea Lugojului, in directia Recas - Lugoj, zona Aurora si zona din spatele facultatilor.

Turnu Magurele
Turnu Măgurele is a municipality in Teleorman County, Romania (in the informal region of Wallachia). Developed nearby the site once occupied by the medieval port of Turnu, it is situated north-east of the confluence between the Olt River and the Danube.
The name of the city means "Hill Tower" in Romanian, in reference to the defense-wall tower of a fort built on the spot by Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in 6th century (ruins of the facilities can still be seen).
The town was occupied by the Ottoman Empire in 1417, towards the end of Prince Mircea I's rule, and, like Giurgiu and Brăila, constituted a kaza on the left bank of the Danube.
A ferry plies across the Danube to the Bulgarian city of Nikopol. There are some vestiges of a Roman bridge across the Danube, built in 330 by Constantine the Great. It is build in the Danube plain in a fertile land called Burnas plain. At 4 km south-west from it the river Olt joins the Danube. Its medium altitude is 33m above sea level.

Echitatie si turism
Echitatia e un sport care se practica destul de putin in romania, cel putin la nivel de performanta. Insa pentru distractie, sportul acesta numit echitatie sau calarit, se gasesc locatii diverse prin tara. Destul de putine insa prin vest, tinand cont ca in afara de Arsenal Park si o Scoala de echitatie Covaci nu prea gasesti nimic.
Daca vrei pentru distractie, Arsenal Parkul il gasesti langa orastie, langa fosta baza militara. Intreaba oamenii de prin zona, sigur de vor ghida catre locul cel bun.
In Timisoara nu stiu sigur unde este scoala de echitatie Covaci, dar acolo nu poti merge doar pentru fun, pentru ca acolo cursurile sunt destul de scumpe pentru ca se face la cu totul si cu totul alt nivel fata de distractie.
Daca te intereseaza, doar poti sa le dai o vizita.

Miercurea Ciuc
Miercurea Ciuc (Hungarian: Csíkszereda, German: Szeklerburg) is the county seat of Harghita county, Romania, in the Transylvania historical region. 3 villages are administratively part of the county seat:
* Ciba (Hungarian: Csiba)
* Harghita-Băi (Hungarian: Hargitafürdő)
* Jigodin-Băi (Hungarian: Zsögödfürdő)
Miercurea-Ciuc is the seat of Harghita county. The city lies in the east of the county in the Olt valley. Since it was founded until 1918, Csíkszereda was the capital of Csík County in the Kingdom of Hungary. Between 1927 and 1938 it changed its name to the Romanian version and was the capital of Ciuc County in the Kingdom of Romania.
The city was given once again to Romania at the end of the Second World War after Hungary restored its sovereignty over it between 1940-1944. It has since then known a significant increase in its industry. In the 1960s a beer factory was built here, Ciuc Beer. Its products have gained an increasing popularity in Romania.
After Miercurea-Ciuc became the county seat of Harghita in 1968, a new socialist style city centre was constructed; the city thereafter began to develop into a major centre of Székely culture and identity. In 2001 the old Harghita Hotel was converted into the Sapientia Transylvanian Hungarian University, which, although privately run, is the first Hungarian university in modern Romania. Other cities in Transylvania also have Sapientia University faculties. Since the university opened it has been attracting growing numbers of young people and intellectuals.
Miercurea-Ciuc is one of the coldest cities in Romania, with winter temperatures often going under -30°C, making the city ideal for winter sports. The Miercurea-Ciuc ice rink, Vákár Lajos műjégpálya, annually hosts the national ice hockey championships, often won by the local team, Csíkszeredai Sport Club. In 2006 the ice rink hosted the world junior championship in short track speed skating. The only long track speed skating rink in Romania is situated next to the indoor ice hockey rink. Another source of pride in the city is the famous Ciuc beer (also known as Csíki sör), considered by some to be the best beer in Romania.
Petőfi Street is the main pedestrian street in the city. It has a young feel thanks to the student presence, and houses many trendy restaurants and fashionable cafés. Their Székely specialities conjure up images of a small city in Western Europe.
In the city centre, the main point of interest is the Mikó Castle, built in a late Renaissance style. The original more decorative castle was raised in the 17th century on the orders of Ferenc Mikó Hídvégi, the personal advisor of Gabriel Bethlen, the prince of Transylvania at the time. Much of the castle was destroyed in 1661 during the Tatar raids, but it was rebuilt at the beginning of the 18th century and was mainly used as a barracks; today it houses the Csík Székely Museum. Behind the castle you will find a small Skanzen (museum village), consisting of a few traditional Csíki houses and wooden gates. Across the road from the castle is the city hall built in 1886, originally the county hall of the old Hungarian crown county. Beside the castle is the 1904 Courthouse. The latest significant addition to the architectural landscape is the controversial 2001 Millennium Templom, designed by Hungarian architect Imre Makovecz and located next to the Baroque Church of the Holy Cross.
A few kilometres to the east of the city centre is the Csíksomlyó church. A large meadow nearby has been the site of a yearly Roman Catholic pilgrimage since the 16th century. The event attracts several hundred thousand people every year and is held on Whit Saturday in June. It is called the "Csíksomlyó Pilgrimage" (Hungarian: Csíksomlyói Búcsú). This traditional gathering is attended by Székely and Csángó Hungarians living in the region, also by a great number of (mostly Hungarian) Catholics from other parts of Transylvania, from Hungary and all over the world.
I traveled there recently and I must say that I was a little bit impressed, even though i didn't hear to much romanian language around. They have a lot of mineral water ( borhot ) around, it's a good region there. The only disadvantages are that in the winter is extremely cold and you can't speak english there because there aren't to many people that could understand this language.
I stayed there for about 6 hours, so I've done a lot of things. And listening a lot of music like DJ Tiesto – Power Mix, 50 Cent – Flight 187, Madonna – The power of Goodbye.
Anyway, after some hours spent there, I was satisfied. This is a good location to visit.
