Chișinău Essentials

Chișinău, known as the 'White City' for its white limestone architecture, blends Soviet-era monuments with expansive green spaces. This selection features the 19th-century Metropolitan Cathedral and the historic Ștefan cel Mare Central Park, the oldest in Moldova. Cultural landmarks include the National Museum of Ethnography and the Organ Hall, once a city bank. The city’s history is further reflected in the Eternity Memorial Complex and the Train of Pain monument, while Valea Morilor Park offers a cascading granite staircase and a central lake.
