Timisoara is the capital city of Timis County, being located on the banks of Bega River.

The city is among the top destinations visited by tourists in Romania, due to its architectural diversity (Baroque, Historicism, Neoclassicism, Art Nouveau and Wiener Secession), but also to the largest architectural ensemble of historic buildings in Romania (approx. 14,500), consisting of the urban heritage of the Cetate, Iosefin, Fabric and Elisabetin neighbourhoods.

There are many nature reserves in the area that house a large number of rare plant and animal species, protected by law. Near Satchinez, 25 km from Timisoara, is the most important ornithological reservation in the west of the country (Satchinez Swamps and Murani Swamps), and at Beba the ornithological reservation Beba Veche.
