Start your Romanian journey from Budapest, the capital of the neighboring country (Hungary). Make your way across the border and into the city of Timisoara, where the spark of the Romanian anti-communist revolution was ignited in 1989. Ease your transition into Romania, by absorbing the feel of the Habsburg looking palaces that border the central walk of the West-most major city in the country. Settled in the middle ages, it changed hands between Hungary, the Ottomans and the Austro-Hungarian empire, before becoming, in 1884, the first city with electrified street lighting in Europe, and its 2021 capital of culture.
