Fascinating Chisinau

Chisinau is a very fascinating place. It's not the on the usual destinations people go for but it definitely has its charm. The city is quite cheap and not expansive. There are surprisingly many green spaces to stroll around in and to enjoy nature right near the heart of the city. Dating from the Soviet era, the city is lined with brutalist buildings as well as several older historic buildings. I definitely recommend it if you're into off the beaten track destinations and to get a taste somewhere different and with less tourists. One good thing was that credit card was surprisingly widely accepted throughout the city!

National History Museum of Moldova

#bucketlistreboot The National History Museum Originally built as a lyceum, this then later became what it is today. The museum is structured into many scientific sections: Ancient History and Archaeology, Medieval History, History of Basarabia, Contemporary History, Treasures. The museum highlights artefacts that showcase a common heritage with Romania and the wider Romanian space as well as items from Soviet and Russian imperial rule. One thing we found very interesting is that whilst the objects are described i.e. this is a fountain pen, there aren’t any descriptions to explain the background behind those objects. So some background knowledge beforehand is needed to fully appreciate the museum and its artefacts. #moldova #chisinau

"The Nativity of Christ" Metropolitan Cathedral

#bucketlistreboot Nativity Cathedral and Cathedral Park Now this is a really nice park with plenty of willow trees and green spaces. In the middle of the park one can observe the white Nativity Cathedral. The Cathedral of Christ’s Nativity is the main cathedral of the Moldovan Orthodox Church in Central Chișinau. It was commissioned by the governor of New Russia, Prince Mikhail Vorontsov, and Metropolitan Gavril Bănulescu-Bodoni in 1830. Inside the cathedral one can notice typical Orthodox motifs with very impressive holy paintings. We really enjoyed taking a stroll through the park as well. We actually sat down at one of the outdoors coffee shops and enjoyed and nice hot cup of cappuccino. Yum! #moldova #chisinau
