Question 2

Is Chisinau walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the centre is walkable. You can see Cathedral Park, the Triumphal Arch, Stephen the Great Monument, and the National Museum of History on foot. Valea Morilor Park is a longer stroll but doable if you like walking.

For longer hops, use trolleybuses. Lines 22 and 24 run along Stefan cel Mare Boulevard, and trolleybus 30 goes to the airport. Taxis and minibuses fill gaps to Botanica and Riscani.

If you want more comfort or plan day trips like Cricova or Orheiul Vechi, consider a private tour in Chisinau with private transportation.
