Dear family and friends,
We are so grateful that we have found each other, and we're getting married! We thought that our first day as husband and wife would be more beautiful if you, our dear ones, would accept our invitation and be part in our joy.

The best way to get to Timişoara from Central, South and Western Europe is flying with a layover in Germany (Munich/Frankfurt). Belgrade and Budapest are other options. We'll explain below each option.
Possible Options:
Tested throughout the years, this is by far the most convenient, fastest and nowadays even cheapest way of getting to Timişoara. With a fast security check in Zurich/Geneva, a layover of 1-1.5h just enough for coffee, and 2.5h of flying, you'll be in 4-5h from airport to airport.
Google Flights:
If you want to visit Romania and do the proposed road trip one option is to fly to Timisoara and fly back directly from Bucharest. Zurich - Timisoara, Bucharest - Zurich
Belgrade has a direct flight from Zurich. Renting a car from the airport is typically cheap and it takes 2-2.5 hours to reach Timisoara. Note that Serbia is not in EU which means that you might spend more time at the borders control and need to check the conditions for taking a rented car from Belgrade outside of Serbia.
Budapest has a direct flight from Zurich and Basel, but it takes 4h from the Airport to Timişoara and you need to book a seat in a minivan (which means that the minivan will wait for other passengers to land as well, which may lead to 2-3h wait in the airport in Budapest).
Driving from Zurich to Timişoara is also thoroughly tested (last time was in September :) ). It's a nice trip to do as you can be on the highway from Zurich all the way to Timişoara or you can take a picturesque route through the Austrian Alps. We recommend to stop in Vienna on the way (it's half way).
We'll try to organise accommodation near the venue for anyone that needs is, so please let us know in the RSVP form if you'd like that. However, if you plan to stay longer in Timişoara and would like to enjoy the city, we recommend staying in the city center. There are many nice Airbnbs in "Uniri Square" and Victoria Square. There are also nice large hotels like Continental or chic boutique hotels all over the city center. Feel free to ping us before booking to double-check :). We'll add some recommendations here soon too.
We will organize two sessions of a city tour.
This is a proposal for an itinerary from Monday to Saturday. Of course, we can adjust it and if you're interested in joining please let us know in the RSVP, and we'll add you to a whatsapp group.
Close to where Andrei comes from lies the most beautiful mountain range in Romania.
One of the nicest medieval towns in Romania with a lot of Habsburg influence.
Rich both in natural beauty and history, this part of the country has much to offer.
A mix of the medieval town of Brasov and the bourgeois style of royal Peles Castle.
Leaving the Carpathian mountain range to reach the vibrant Romanian capital of Bucharest.
This are some options that we found nice, we can look more and adjust as needed. This will also depend on the number of people joining.
Get ready to witness the magic of our love this June :P. Your presence is for us the greatest gift! In case you insist on gifting us something more, you can contribute to our honeymoon adventure.
Cristina & Andrei
