Transnistria Tour from Chsinau city
Our great pleasure is to offer you a new tour in Moldova. Movingfrom Chisinau to Transnistria. Become one of the few travelers to visit Transnistria, a breakaway republic in eastern Moldova, where Soviet values are still upheld and locals continue their fight for independence Tiraspol and Bender cities are the main ones!
Tiraspol is the biggest city in Transnistria. The city is located on the eastern bank of the Nistru River.
In the morning, you will discover Tighina Bender Fortress which is located in Tighina town and was built in the 15th century by the prince of Moldova, Stephen the Great. Originally built as a small wooden fort, it was later fortified in stone by the prince of Moldova, Petru Rares.
Occupied by the Ottomans in 1538 (in a campaign led by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent), the fort was strengthened in 1541. Bender Fortress is an architectural ensemble of irregular quadrilateral plan, surrounded by wide walls, 2-3 meters thick, made of limestone and brick. The cultural life and heritage living in Tiraspol and elsewhere in Transnistria have a powerful Slavic characteristic. This refers to theatre, literature, and other domains. The language in most cases is Russian and many references will be made to Russian culture in general. Simultaneously, the province administration tries to encourage cultural diversity and features Russian culture along with Ukrainian and Moldovan. Soviet and socialist elements can be found often in the Transnistrian cultural environment.
Tiraspol – Back in the USssr. In the afternoon, you will have lunch at a local restaurant in Tiraspol. ( pay yourself)
After lunch, you will set off on a time travel to Tiraspol. The guide will do a city tour. During the city tour, you will discover Vladimir Lenin’s monument and the tank left from the Second World War. The city seems to be a vestige of the Soviet past. Nevertheless, you will be amazed by the contrasts, which is the football complex „Sheriff” - a pearl of contemporary architecture.
