Where to stay in Elisabetin
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Elisabetin suits you if parks and 1900s frontages matter more than a room on the main square, and the district's own list runs from the National Museum of Banat to the Monument of Virgin Mary in Mary's Square. The university quarter sits here. Parks break up the blocks, and the Piarist Church and Constantin Jude Hall give the walk between them a couple of fixed points.
