Timisoara’s historic center is <strong>in</strong> the process of becom<strong>in</strong>g an pedestrian-only area, except<br />
for the traml<strong>in</strong>es. The center is a succession of 3 public spaces - the Union square, the<br />
Liberty square <strong>and</strong><br />
the Opera square - each with their own characteristics. While the Union square is completely<br />
treeless <strong>and</strong> host<strong>in</strong>g two major cathedrals <strong>and</strong> the arts museum, the Opera square<br />
is host<strong>in</strong>g the national opera <strong>and</strong> the orthodox cathedral with rows of trees <strong>and</strong> flower<br />
beds, the Liberty square is the smallest of the three <strong>and</strong> used to be more a small parc with<br />
