Main tour of Chișinău
The main tour of Chișinău covers the city's most important landmarks, as well as cultural and historical places that convey the atmosphere of Moldova's capital. I highly recommend visiting these places:
The Great National Assembly Square
Start your tour at Chișinău's main square, the Great National Assembly Square. This is an important historical site where public and cultural events take place. At the square, you can see the Triumphal Arch, built in the 1840s to celebrate the Russian Empire's victory over the Ottoman Empire.
The Nativity Cathedral
Next, take a stroll through the park near the square and visit the Nativity Cathedral. Built in the 1830s, the cathedral is a beautiful example of neoclassical architecture. Inside, you can feel the spiritual atmosphere of this religious center.
Ștefan cel Mare Park
After a short rest, head for a walk in the most famous park in the city, Ștefan cel Mare Park, named after the famous Moldovan ruler. The park features a monument to Ștefan the Great, and it's a lovely spot for walks among trees, fountains, and cultural events. There's also a Writers' Alley here.
National Museum of History of Moldova
Your next stop should be the National Museum of History of Moldova. This museum will introduce you to the rich history of the region, from ancient times to the present. Exhibits include archaeological finds, works of art, and significant historical artifacts.
Central Market
To feel the spirit of the city, make sure to visit Chișinău's Central Market. Here, you can see how locals buy fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and more. It's a great place to try traditional Moldovan treats like brynza (local cheese) and fresh fruits.
Ethnographic Museum
After lunch, I recommend visiting the National Museum of Ethnography and Natural History, which showcases the life of Moldovan villages and traditions. The museum also features a natural history exhibition with samples of Moldova's flora and fauna.
Eugen Doga Pedestrian Street
Finish the tour at Pedestrian Street, where you can stroll along cozy streets with numerous cafes and restaurants offering local cuisine and souvenirs. You can also get acquainted with the nightlife of the city and have a great time.
