Looking at the authentic constructions made of wood, stone, clay, purchased from the villages of Banat, dismantled and built in the museum respecting local techniques, the objects used in daily life, you open a door to the life of people from past centuries. The houses generally have two or three living rooms. However, what constitutes a recognized behavioral characteristic of Romanians in general and Banatians in particular is the hospitality revealed by the presence in each house of the guest room, known as the “clean stove”, “big stove”, “good stove”, beautifully furnished and decorated with the most precious fabrics – carpets, towels and tablecloths (“măsaie”).

Where do we go on the weekend in Timisoara? In the Rose Park, of course. The story of one of the most beautiful places in the city begins in 1891, when 3 gardeners arranged the Royal Rose Garden. The beautiful park was seriously damaged during World War II, but was restored in 1953. In fact, time has left its mark on it, so in 2012 it entered, again, a rehabilitation process. Today, this is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Timisoara, especially in the warm season, when it is covered with roses of different species.

The Timisoara Brewery was opened in 1718, at the behest of Prince Eugene of Savoy, in order to supply the Austrian army when the Austrian Empire annexed Banat and Oltenia. Thus, the story of the beer with the same name was born.
In 1890, the factory was almost completely destroyed by a fire, and was rebuilt and modernized with the latest equipment of the time. Despite the challenges encountered throughout its long history, the factory has brilliantly withstood the test of time and has become a national brand.

The Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral impresses both by its size and by the artistic value of the monument, being currently one of the most representative places of worship in our country. Built according to the plans of the architect Ioan Traianescu, the cathedral harmoniously combines elements of Byzantine architecture with those of old Romanian architecture. It was consecrated on October 6, 1946.
In the basement, the Metropolitan Cathedral houses an impressive collection of old Banat church art and a valuable collection of icons. Also in the basement is the necropolis of the Banat metropolitans. The first metropolitan buried here was Vasile Lăzărescu. Inside, the cathedral was enriched with the relics of Metropolitan Iosif cel Nou, which were moved from the Partoş monastery in 1956.

Have you decided to go on vacation? You should know that there are many places to visit near Timisoara. Thus, after admiring the beauty of the city, you can make a short getaway to the surrounding towns. A good example in this case is Charlottenburg, the only circular village in our country. You can find it in the Bogda commune, just 45 kilometers away from Timisoara. Its story began during the time of Count Karl-Ignaz von Clary und Aldringen (former president of the Banat administration, in 1769) who requested that a village be built for 32 immigrant families from Italy and Germany. Because its shape is unique, the Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs declared the village of Charlottenburg a historical monument.

The real-time timing system allows for very precise scoring and measurement of the competitors' performances. And in the spirit of this idea, to offer you the racing experience, we periodically organize competitions for all those who want to and are passionate about motor sports.
