In a nutshell
Chisinau-My favorite town!
rambling_rose Says: It's well worth booking yourselves on a tour of the Cricova wine cellars. 120 kms of underground cellars, you get to be driven around in a car and see the stores of red, white and above all, champagne, which is still made by the traditional champenoise method. They also have...
Jetgirly Says: Located centrally in Parcul Catedralei, Chisina's main Orthodox Catheral (Nativity Cathedral) was originally built in the 1830s but it was heavily bombed during the second World War, and Communists destroyed its original bell tower in the 1960s. Restoration inside is still...
Jetgirly Says: It's easy to stop and relax in the two large parks occupying a large part of downtown Chisinau. One one side of B-dul Stefan cel Mare you'll find Parcul Catedralei, which is home to the city's main Orthodox cathedral and the Arc de Triomphe. Across the street is Gradina...
Jetgirly Says: Central Chisinau is home to a number of important government buildings. My Lonely Planet guide warned against obviously taking photos of the Presidential Palace. So of course it was my first stop and I did all I could to photograph it from every angle (which was difficult...
Travel Back in (Moldovan) Time
Jetgirly Says: At the National Archeology and History Museum, you can explore Moldova's history. After you buy your entrance ticket the ladies at the front will watch you like a hawk to ensure you venture through the rooms in the "suggested" order. Beginning at the dawn of Moldovan time,...

Sandwich Express: Don't Miss the Freshest Sandwich in Town!
ssxm Says: Sandwich Express is a small, very friendly streetside cafe in the Botanica region of Chisinau. It offers large European-style sandwiches with fresh juices, lemonades and coffees. The place is very budget-oriented, with a typical quick lunch running 40 to 60 Moldovan Lei (3-5...
Robin Pub: Lots of Choices at an Ex-Pat Hangout
Jetgirly Says: I had two dinners at Robin Pub in central Chisinau. The first evening I was there I sat on the patio, beside a raucous group of English-speaking ex-pats who were tossing money and curse words around like there was no tomorrow. Right away I got the sense that this was a place...
Lion_Beat Says: It's a popular disco-night-club. They got everytime a program for the night. And it seems like it's a theater or ...Anyway check the program before you go. Cause might happend that you will come to a Rio Fest or to man strip show! Show-ballet and singers are present...
Malina Cocktail House: Cocktails in Chisinau
Jetgirly Says: Located on the edge of Chisinau's busiest park, Malina Cocktail House is a chic little bar and cafe with stylish seating, great people-watching and an expansive cocktail list... in Russian! Yes, while most eateries in Chisinau at least write their menus in Moldovan, the...
Jetgirly Says: When it came time to leave Chisinau and head into Romania, locals told me it would be faster to take a bus than a train. So, I checked with the lady running Central Youth Hostel and she wrote out times at which buses left for Iasi. I hopped on minibus #152 and took it all...
josephescu Says: Night train “Prietenia” (aka Friendship) makes the journey Bucharest - Chisinau every night in both directions. From Bucharest, the train leaves every evening a few minutes before 20 p.m. and arrives in Chisinau the next morning around 9.00 a.m. From Chisinau, departure is...
josephescu Says: Public transport connecting Chisinau with other cities around Moldova is reliable, well organised and straightforward to use. There are several buses a day to and from all major cities around the country.To get an idea about how frequent bus connection are and how long does...
Flower Market: Flowers! Flowers! Get Your Flowers!
Jetgirly Says: Moldovan men are apparently very romantic. That was the only explanation my North American traveling companions could come up with to explain the existence of a twenty-four-hour flower market located in downtown Chisinau. Craving carnations at the crack of dawn? Missing...
Jetgirly Says: I'm a sucker for a good pun, so when I learned that Chisinau was home to a shopping center called MallDova I knew I would have to visit! My first full day in Chisinau was a Monday, and with all the museums and other attractions closed I thought it would be a great day to do...
DAO Says: When in Moldova....Across Chisinau you will see the little Kvas stands selling this very interesting drink. Kvas (looks like KBAC in Russian and often spelled CVAS here) is a most Eastern European drink. Essentially it is fermented bread that has a low alcohol content of...
socheid Says: 1st time I visited Chisinau was around 2006 to watch an international football match. I was a relatively late arrival to the city, maybe the day before the game. Other people who had traveled for the game told me how the police were on a feeding frenzy of stopping people and...
traveller4 Says: May be it is not a big problem, but if you want to discover Chisinau, uderstand what is this city all about - one simple way to do it is to buy "TENDDIS set" in the airport or you hotel. At least you will save money and be guaranteed from going to unknown or strange places...
Peter_VIE Says: Chisinau doesn`t offer a lot of attractions for tourists. Stolling around with open eyes maybe you will find out that even this city has is own charme. Many nice, old houses in small lanes are one of them.
Peter_VIE Says: If you have time enough take time for a walk to the Chisinau cemetery. It looks more like a nature reserve area than a graveyard and gives you an insight of the diversified history of a former Soviet country as well. Following Ismail street uphill you will find the entrance.
Kevin-UK Says: For anyone wishing to visit Chisinau I can pass on details of a local contact.HE, is 22 and knows the city reasonably well, very useful when buying tickets and for arranging taxis over the phone. MISHA is not an official guide, and his knowledge of many things will be...

For a European capital, Chişinău is somewhat off the beaten path. So, most people don't know much about it. Its history started in 1436 when a monastery was founded here. For several...
