Over 40 festivals each year.

Starting in 1784, Timișoara has been hosting permanent lyrical theater performances. This tradition is proudly carried on by the National Opera and Banat Philharmonic in Timișoara.
Music festivals, from baroque to rock, from jazz to electronic experiments. Themed festivals with large-scale and long-running international performing arts events. Film festivals, with screenings from all over Europe.
It would be a loss to arrive in Timișoara and not see at least one show. Or an exhibition. Or an art film, maybe even a Romanian one. Or some good music.
Whether you’re dancing with new friends at a festival in a forest, being wowed by gastronomy, diving into the world of theatre or discovering the stories of the city, there’s something for everyone.
