A Sneak Peek into Chisinau
- Although Chisinau is an unsightly city, the Moldovans are not entirely to blame.
- Moldova (formerly Bessarabia), fought over for centuries by the Ottomans, Russians, and Romanians, already had a problematic past when it was first seized and annexed from Romania by the Soviet Union, then captured by Romania and Nazi Germany, and finally lost again.
- The city of Chisinau now consists of a mishmash of dilapidated structures and Soviet apartment buildings due to the fighting that followed and two severe earthquakes that struck in 1940.
- But don't let any of this deter you; as a wise traveller will tell you, every place has something worth seeing, and Chişinău is no exception. You need to know where to look.
- Getting around is simple because of its small, compact size, and there is plenty of protection because of the numerous embassies and government buildings in the city's centre.
- Fewer tourists visit this area than Tallinn or Prague and even fewer in Riga or Lviv.
- You may freely roam around without being bothered on every corner since locals would eagerly engage in conversation with you and practise your English whenever they get the chance.

The Best Places to Visit in Chisinau
Cricova Winery Underground Wine Cellar
- One of the greatest ways to learn about the lengthy history of wine drinking and production in Moldova is to tour Cricova's wine cellars.
- After the Mileștii Mici Winery, which will be covered soon, these are the second-largest wine vaults in the world.
- There are almost 120 kilometres of caverns and tunnels in this area, which have been utilised for wine production and storage since the 15th century.
- You must see this to believe it—an underground entire wine city.
- Oleg has a genuine love for his home and his nation.
- Every visitor to Chișinău should prioritise going to the Cricova Underground Wine Cellar!
Zentrum Aparthotel
- While claiming the hotel scene in Chișinău was lacking would have been an understatement until last year, with the launch of the Zentrum ApartHotel the game has changed, and the standard has been set almost impossibly high for every other hotel in Chișinău to follow.
- Every room at the Zentrum Aparthotel is themed after a famous artist.
- You can find lovely pieces inspired by Sevastia Balabanov, a great connoisseur and patron of fine arts who first owned the building.
- The Zentrum Aparthotel brings beauty and refined elegance to Chişinău with a dash of fun and whimsy.
- After undergoing a complete re-fit for its opening just one year ago, the Zentrum Aparthotel, a chic hotel in the heart of Chişinău, would not look out of place in New York Taipei, or Copenhagen today.
- There is currently no competition for the greatest boutique hotel in Chișinău, thanks to its fantastic breakfast buffet, peaceful rooms, and modern amenities.
- Your trip to Moldova will be even more delightful if you stay here!
Nativity Cathedral Chisinau
- The primary cathedral of the Moldovan Orthodox Church, the Cathedral of Christ's Nativity, was constructed in the 1830s and is located in the centre of Chisinau.
- The Nativity Cathedral in Chisinau, bombed during World War Two and later desecrated by communists, was carefully restored in 1997 once Soviet prohibitions on religion were abolished. It is now unquestionably the hub of religion in Moldova.
- If you peek in, you will frequently witness everything from private moments of spirituality to elaborate lectures with a live television team and a crowd crammed in like sardines in a can!

Chisinau Off the Beaten Track
National Museum of History of Moldova
- The National Museum of History in Chisinau’s historic centre is Moldova's top museum and a must-see with its collection of more than 165,000 artefacts related to national heritage.
- Even though the entire structure might use a makeover, the exhibits themselves are fascinating, thought-provoking, and provide travellers with a look at all the significant moments in Moldova's history, from independence to prehistoric times.
- The historical halls and the WW2 diorama are both incredibly stunning, as is their collection of mediaeval artefacts.
- This offers something fresh for everyone to learn, regardless of their level of historical knowledge or understanding of how or why Moldova exists.
Tucano Coffee
- Since Tucano Coffee, the locals don't seem to bother that you won't find a Starbucks there.
- This delightfully trendy coffee chain, founded on the principles of peace, love, and coffee, has quickly expanded internationally and can now be found, among other places, in Romania, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, and Kyrgyzstan. However, nobody here will ever let you forget that Chișinău is the original.
- Try the cannabis coffee or the delectable cheesecakes at this innovative coffee concept, where you can unwind all day with fast WiFi and a chill atmosphere.
- A trip to Chișinău only to sample both is worthwhile!

Chisinau Culture and Traditions

- Traditions and practices that are still practised began to emerge hundreds of years ago in B.C.
- The main subjects of Moldovan traditions are national music, dances, songs, food, wine, and ornamental arts and crafts.
- The blending of geto-daci culture with the cultures of other civilisations, such as the Greeks, Slavs, and most notably the Romans, is responsible for many of the present customs.
