Duration: Around 6–7 hours, including travel time

Languages: Romanian, Russian, English

Program: Daily, Monday – Sunday, from 09:00 to 16:00 

Travel beyond Moldova’s eastern border and discover Transnistria, a breakaway republic that seems frozen in the Soviet era. Unrecognized by any other country, Transnistria has its own government, currency, army, and flag — a living reminder of another time.

On this immersive day tour from Chișinău, you’ll cross the Dniester River and step into a parallel world where Lenin still stands in the main square, red stars crown official buildings, and Soviet monuments dominate the skyline. Explore Bender Fortress, a grand 16th-century stronghold, and the capital city of Tiraspol, with its wide boulevards, war memorials, and imposing House of Soviets.

Your expert guide will share fascinating stories about life in this self-proclaimed republic — how it functions without international recognition and why the Soviet legacy remains so strong today. Enjoy lunch in a Soviet-style canteen, experience authentic local hospitality, and capture unforgettable photos of a place truly unlike anywhere else in Europe.
