TIMISOARA 🇷🇴 | Is This Romania's Most Beautiful City?

[@befreetv354]

Romanian here....Yes! Timisoara The Most Beautiful Romanian City !

[@d3rz1s]

On the monument at 07:52 it is written : "Glory to the Romanian soldier, heir to the ancestral traditions who fought heroically against Bolshevism and fascism for the freedom and independence of the homeland".

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

Thanks so much for the translation. I was thinking it was something like that 👍

*Timisoara was the first city in entire Europe which had benefited of electric illumination on the streets. The event happened 139 years ago, on November 12, in 1882 , when 731 lamps have been turned on for the citizens...*

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

I read that when I arrived and am now kicking myself for not mentioning it in the video. What an amazing little piece of history 👍

Welcome to Romania!

[@angelobadalamenti6990]

Like Romania with tourism, you clearly also deserve better. Nice Timisora!

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

Romania definitely deserves more recognition as an amazing travel destination 👍

[@levinawalsh2015]

Lovely Video Paul👍. The Orthodox Cathedral was Really Beautiful 👌. It's Always Nice to see you make the effort to find an Irish pub or two on your travels. Cheers Paul☘😃.

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

Im always hoping to find an Irish ex pat or two everywhere I go. The best place to find them is naturally in the irish pub. Or at least there's staff or customers with some connections to Ireland 😉

[@amsalespush]

Interesting. The monument around 7:40 - an exact copy of that is here in Hamburg, Germany.

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

Interesting. Someone explained the meaning in a comment a while back. I can't remember exactly. There's been a lot of monuments since then 😉

[@scriptnomad]

Thanks for showing the sights and commenting! I plan on relocating here soon, so much appreciated. And you're right, I would enjoy seeing more people in the video

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

Thanks pal I appreciate the comment. Good luck with the move I'm sure you'll like it there it's a great city 👍

I must say I am quite impressed with all the walking you do in all of your videos I have seen so far!😅

[@ryanbooth8421]

That cathedral looks awesome.

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

It was pal. Eastern Europe cathedrals are on another level

[@thealienist4112]

''Little Paris'' or ''little Viene'' are names given to the cities before Romania was engulfed by communists.. the cities were really beautifull

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

Yes I've heard that. Looks like they're making a comeback! 👍

[@GoogleUser-et4px]

Romania can get a bad reputation in the media, but you're proving its a great tourist spot .

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

I agree with that. I wasn't really sure what to expect. It's always great when a place beats any expectations like that.

[@HT-rq6om]

Totally agree! Here in Germany in people’s minds they always associate Romania with Roma and Sinti, very undeserved.

Wasnt IT timisoara where the December revolution started? :) Ive been to Bucharest, Transylvania and Constanta aswell as Brasov 👍👍 and ive had the honour of being with some romanian ladies😁💘 their eyes Are the most beautiful i think and their motherly Nature 😊😊💋💋💋 te lubesc romanie Traiasca libertate traiasca Romania 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴 Also, the "Little Paris thing is due to the blooming of external influences and "HOCHKULTUR" from Paris and other central european countries in the wake of the romanian revolution (Romania before this a Devlyat, under the ottoman empire). It marks the golden age of romanian poetry, art and litterature 💘😊.

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

Yes it was Timisoara where the revolution started. I agree the women are beautiful in Romania 😉

[@fabiandanesti1497]

not that i want to be disrespecfull or hatefull , i like your videos. But would u like your irish cities to be called "Little...." and then some famous City from England? its a little oooof to us

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

I remember a previous comment you wrote saying something similar. That's what people called it. You don't like it as you're clearly a very proud Romanian. Little Paris was a nickname and I'm sure it was meant as a compliment not an insult. To be compared to arguably the most beautiful city in the world surely isn't something to be offended by. You like your history so you should look up the reasons why Bucharest was compared to Paris. It's all positive.

[@PaulTheIrishPainter]

Apologies. That was the Bucharest video where you commented saying the same thing. I've just realized this is the Timisoara video. For non natives these comparisons are interesting and curious. That's why I add it on the videos. It's historically accurate to say these are the nicknames given to certain cities. Myself and most other travel vlogs I watch make the videos to show a place is probably worth visiting. Not to please people who live or have already been there. It's impossible to get it right or to keep everyone happy. I Hope you understand that.

[@healththenopulence5106]

@@PaulTheIrishPainter its actually flattering your city to be called like that.. thats what 99% of us in Ro think! Everyone has their opinion tho:) romanians can be a bit like the germans sometimes.. but they are like italians most of the times:)

[@crepooscul]

@@PaulTheIrishPainter No need to explain yourself to a doofus with an inferiority complex. I actually wish that "Little Paris" was still an accurate name for Bucharest, but Ceausescu demolished my once beautiful city.
