Where to stay in Freidorf
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Freidorf puts you out on the south-west edge of Timişoara, among old Banat Swabian houses and green space rather than in the middle of the city. The architecture is the reason. Anyone drawn to the older building stock of the Banat will find it standing along Freidorf's streets, and the district's green spaces make walking between them straightforward.
