I suspect that Chişinău will go down as one of my greatest surprises on this tour. I was a bit surprised when it came up on my list, but I had every intention of following the rules. I guess that I was somewhat prepared by my time in Skopje, Belgrade and Bucharest, but this place felt definitely different which I might best describe as Russia with a French accent.

The country makes use of the Roman alphabet which is adopted in 1989 to replace the existing Cyrillic alphabet. The use of English is not widespread but at least you can make some sense of some of the writing. Outside my window is a beautiful café called the Bonjour Cafe which serves delightful coffee and plays French music from morning to night.

The city has a tourist information board, and it has made some attempts to provide a website highlighting some of the city’s tourist attractions. Signposts around the city highlight other destinations but tourism is not promoted or aligned. There is no overarching response to tourism and even Wikipedia misses too many things out.

I only hope that my contribution might be helpful should you decide to take the opportunity to visit.

Travelling by public transport is extremely cheap and there are some amazing shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. Food and drink, including alcoholic drink is cheap…. unbelievably cheap. The parks are beautiful and peaceful and (with the exception of the botanical gardens) completely free. Admissions to the majority of attractions are free or minimal…… you just have to find the places first and I am worried that I might have missed some of the best ones.

I would definitely come again to this place and next time hope to explore a bit more of the countryside. I am headed to the airport, and my next destination is Milan ……at least I am going in the right direction to get home!!!!
