Chisinau: Maslenitsa Walking Tour with Food Tasting

Celebrate Maslenitsa in Chisinau on a walking tour. Explore the festive markets, see the city’s landmarks, and sample traditional pancakes and warming local beverages.
Join a walking tour through the heart of Chisinau during Maslenitsa, an ancient festive cycle marking the end of winter and the joyful arrival of spring. Experience a unique blend of traditions, where hospitality meets local flavor.

Begin with a brief introduction to Maslenitsa. Learn about the symbolism behind the rituals and how they are celebrated in modern Moldova. Walk through the Great National Assembly Square and the Cathedral Park, which transform into a festive village during this week.

Visit the traditional wooden stalls (fair booths), the epicenter of the holiday. See local artisans' crafts and feel the authentic atmosphere of a street fair. Between the festivities, see the city’s "must-sees," including the Triumphal Arch, the Monument to Stephen the Great, and the beautiful Government Building, hearing the stories that shaped the city.

No Maslenitsa is complete without food. Stop to enjoy blini (pancakes), the symbol of the sun, served with various toppings. Sample traditional pastries, including local favorites like plăcinte. Sip on a glass of hot izvar (Moldovan mulled wine) or herbal tea to keep the spring chill away.
