The Balkan Backpacker

FREEBORN, HOSTEL TIMISOARA ROMANIA

Friendly, Helpful, Fun.

We are located in the absolute center of Timisoara, next to the Huniade Castle.

We have a beautiful courtyard in which we host activities like grills with traditional Romanian food (“Mici”), or Jam sessions with the many musicians that come to our hostel. Actually one of our staff members is a good accordion player so we are keen in enjoying musical nights.

You can relax in our courtyard hammock or play ping pong, guitar, or join in for card games sometimes, or just hang out in our courtyard terrace for a nice social evening…

We are a friendly hostel, so we will dedicate all our time helping you. For example, finding information about the city, surroundings, and even all Romania, and if you want we will plan your trip through Romania!, we’ll show you what Top Gear considers “The most beautiful road in the world” – The Transfagarasean mountain road, as well as other favorits like Transalpina. Also, we organize day trips by walking, bikes or car.

We will help you find a place to rent if you are studying here and want to live in our beautiful city.

We also enjoy Pub Crawls to the best pubs in town, pancake nights, Wii games, karaoke, and several other activities.

We try to make your stay pleasant and authentic, so we give you FREE shots of “Palinca” (traditional Romanian brew) that is homemade and thus has the true taste that a drink like this should have.

We hope you have a GREAT stay at our hostel!…
