Planning a trip on the tbilisi kishinovi route? Here is what you can see in the Moldovan capital.

Moldova is a small country in Eastern Europe, lying between Romania and Ukraine, not far from the Black Sea. Chișinău, its capital, sits in the central part of the country.

The city only began to grow in earnest after the Second World War, so you will not find here the grand buildings and monuments of the more popular European destinations — but it is well worth a visit all the same. Lovers of brutalist and Soviet architecture will especially appreciate Chișinău, which reads like a textbook of Soviet design.

• Visit the beautiful Nativity Cathedral

The Nativity Cathedral, which stands in Cathedral Park, was built in the 1830s in the neoclassical style. It was destroyed during the Second World War and, while Moldova was part of the USSR, the building served as an exhibition centre.

Today the cathedral stands proudly in the heart of the capital, at the centre of every important occasion. Do step inside — the interior is genuinely striking.

• The Triumphal Arch

In the city centre, next to the cathedral, you will find the Triumphal Arch, one of Chișinău’s most popular and most important landmarks. It was built in 1840 to mark the Russian Empire’s victory over the Ottoman Empire in the Russo-Turkish war a few years earlier.

• Soviet mosaics

One of the finest mosaics stands beside the Hotel Cosmos and depicts Moldovan rural life in the 1970s. Another, equally impressive, is located near the Jewish cemetery. At the entrance to Stefan cel Mare Central Park there is also a concrete flower-shaped fountain decorated with a beautiful mosaic.

• Enjoy the local cafés

The café scene in Chișinău is still developing, but there are already several lovely spots where you can sit down and relax over a cup of coffee.

The best known is Tucano Coffee — the Moldovan answer to Starbucks, and genuinely good.

In warm weather you will also find outdoor cafés in the city parks — the nicest way to spend a quiet hour in Chișinău.

Practical information for the Tbilisi – Chișinău route

• Airports: departure from Tbilisi International Airport (TBS), arrival at Chișinău International Airport (RMO). Note that Chișinău airport previously used the code KIV, which was replaced by RMO in January 2024 — you may still come across both in older bookings and search engines.

• Non-stop flights: the route is served non-stop by the Moldovan carrier FlyOne and by SkyUp Airlines. Schedules change with the season, so check the operating days before you book.

Visas and documents

Georgian citizens do not need a visa to enter Moldova — you may stay visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Carry a valid passport; border officers may ask to see a return ticket, an accommodation booking and travel insurance. Entry rules change from time to time, so confirm the current requirements from an official source before you travel.

Currency, language and everyday costs

Moldova’s currency is the Moldovan leu (MDL). The official language is Romanian, though Russian is widely spoken in Chișinău and younger people will usually understand English. Hotels, restaurants and shops in the centre accept cards, but cash is handy at markets and in smaller cafés. Exchange offices that handle Georgian lari are rare in Chișinău, so it is more practical to bring euros or dollars. Compared with other European capitals, Chișinău is one of the most affordable destinations there is — food, transport and accommodation all cost noticeably less.

When is the best time to visit Chișinău?

The best seasons are spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October), when the weather is warm and dry. Summers in Chișinău are rather hot and winters are cold and snowy — though that is usually when air tickets are at their cheapest.

Wine lovers have one date to circle: the first weekend of October, when Chișinău hosts the National Wine Day (Ziua Națională a Vinului) on the Great National Assembly Square. Book your accommodation well ahead for those days.

• Mileștii Mici — a Guinness record holder, home to the largest wine collection in the world, some 1.5 million bottles.
