Transnistria Tour from Chsinau city
Our great pleasure is to offer you a new tour in Moldova. Transferring from Chisinau to Transnistria. Become one of the few travelers to visit Transnistria, a breakaway republic in eastern Moldova, where Soviet values are still upheld and locals continue their fight for independence, Tiraspol and Bender city the main!
Tiraspol is the biggest city in Transnistria. The city is located on the eastern bank of the Nistru River.
In the morning, you will discover
Tighina is located in Tighina town and was built in the 15th century by the prince of Moldova, Stephen the Great. Originally built as a small wooden fort, it was later fortified in stone by the prince of Moldova, Petru Rares.
Occupied by the Ottomans in 1538 (in a campaign led by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent), the fort was strengthened in 1541.
Bender Fortress is an architectural ensemble of irregular quadrilateral plan, surrounded by wide walls, 2-3 meters thick, made of limestone and brick.
Because Tiraspol has a high-density of population in the south and has virtually no borderlines with the adjacent localities, the concept of Tiraspol-Bender agglomeration has appeared; together these two cities account for approximately 350.000 common inhabitants. Bender is located on the right side of the Nistru River, and since 1992 it has been under the governance of Tiraspol. These two neighboring towns are linked to each other through trolley bus lines and minibusses.
Culture. The cultural life and heritage existing in Tiraspol and elsewhere in Transnistria have a strong Slavic characteristic. This refers to theatre, literature, and other domains. The language in most cases is Russian and many references will be made to Russian culture in general. Simultaneously, the region's administration tries to promote cultural diversity and features Russian culture along with Ukrainian and Moldovan. Soviet and socialist elements will be found often in the Transnistrian cultural environment.
Tiraspol – Back in the USSR
