What to expect
Step back in time on a fascinating journey to Transnistria, a self-proclaimed republic that has existed separately from Moldova since 1992. Often described as a “living Soviet museum,” this unique region still preserves Soviet symbols, monuments, and traditions rarely seen elsewhere in Europe.The tour begins with a drive from Chișinău toward Transnistria’s capital, Tiraspol, where you will explore wide boulevards, Lenin statues, Soviet-era architecture, and learn about the region’s complex political history and everyday life.After visiting Tiraspol, continue to Bender (Tighina) to explore the impressive Bender Fortress, a 16th-century Ottoman stronghold located on the banks of the Dniester River. Your guide will share stories about the fortress’s strategic importance and its role in regional conflicts over the centuries. This tour is perfect for travellers interested in history, politics, and off-the-beaten-path destinations, offering a rare insight into one of Europe’s most unusual regions.
