Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your Chisinau hotel and head northeast, crossing the Dniester River towards the border between Moldova and Ukraine.

During this tour, we'll explore the most prominent cities in Transnistria. Transnistria declared its independence from Moldova in 1990, which led to a two-year war. The Moldovan government and the European community have not recognized this independence. Nonetheless, Transnistria operates with its own government, police force, constitution, and currency, the Transnistrian ruble.

After passing through passport control, we'll drive to the town of Bender, also known as Tighina. Here, we'll visit the Memorial to Military Glory, the Tighina Fortress, and the train station.

Next, we'll explore Tiraspol, the capital of Transnistria. We'll embark on a panoramic tour of the city, starting with October 25th Avenue and making stops at landmarks such as the Stalin Empire building, former USSR factories, Suvorov Square, and the University.

After our visit, you'll have free time for lunch, and then we'll meet again to cross the border back to Moldova, returning to Chisinau.

Arrival at your hotel is scheduled 6 hours after pickup.
