A short travel guide!

- Bernardazzi Architecture

Chisinau is a city in transition, with new and old buildings side by side. However, the city abounds in architectural masterpieces, many of which were designed by the famous Russian architect Alexandru Bernardazzi.

- A green city

Chisinau is a green city, with lots of trees along its streets and boulevards that are particularly beautiful in spring and summer. Although May is the perfect month for a walk under the scent of blooming acacia, the parks of Stefan cel Mare, Valea Morilor and Valea Trandafirilor are also great options for autumn walks.

- Outdoor markets and bazaars

Chisinau Central Market is the largest open-air market in the city. It is a crowded, colorful, must-visit bazaar, where in winter the visitor finds all kinds of food for sale, as well as souvenirs, clothes, shoes, accessories etc. There are also the Crafts market featuring the works of all kinds of Moldovan craftspeople, and the Flea market for vintage lovers.

Travel Tip!

Explore the Chisinau to Palanca cycling route which follows country roads and paths away from the national highways, providing a quiet and safe cycling environment that gives travelers the chance to enjoy the landscapes of Moldova and admire many picturesque places along the way.

Enjoy your visit!
