What to see in Chișinău

Chisinau is a green and multi-layered capital of Moldova, where history and modernity, Soviet architecture and cozy city parks intertwine. The city grew at the crossroads of trade and cultural routes, retaining traces of the XIX and XX centuries, a merchant spirit and a calm provincial atmosphere. Here it is easy to feel the contrast between the bustling avenues and the quiet corners of Codra, which makes Chisinau truly unique for the traveler.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made sights of Chisinau surprise with diversity: the Botanical Garden of the Academy of Sciences with its collections of plants, the Alley of Classics and the central park Stefan cel Mare, the Water Tower and the unusual Wind Tower, the residential complex "Gate of the City" and ancient monuments - the monument to Stefan cel Mare, monuments to Lenin, Kotovsky and Pushkin. In the center stands the Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ, and in the city there are picturesque church ensembles and the Mazarakiev Church, which tell about the religious and architectural history of the capital.

Natural attractions and places

Natural corners and landscapes around the city are invited for walks and picnics: parks Valya Morilor and Valya Transdafirilore, Arboretum, Alunelul Park and Gidigic Park create green legends of Chisinau. The embankments of Lake Valya Morilor and the river banks of Prut, as well as the picturesque monastic complexes on the rocky banks of the Dniester, such as Tsipova, give impressive views and quiet places for recreation. Codras and monasteries close to the capital, such as Kapriyansky and Khirzheuka, make it possible to combine urban leisure with natural walks.
