Stefan cel Mare Boulevard Chisinau

Walk the big boulevard

Mihaela from Chisinau

""Stefan cel Mare Boulevard" goes through the center of Chisinau. It's 3.8km long and I encourage you to walk all of it and observe the people & buildings!"

Each region of Chisinau has its main boulevard, but surely the most impressive is the Stefan cel Mare Boulevard which goes through the whole city center. It's 3.8km long and it is the main avenue of the city, connecting all its regions.

I strongly encourage you to walk all the 3.8km and observe the people and the combinations of architecture along it. Chisinau's main buildings are also on this boulevard: theaters, city hall, post office, government and parliament buildings and the central parks, among others.

This walking tour provides a unique experience for understanding what Chisinau is really about: a combination of Soviet, old and modern architecture, beautifully restored buildings but also some really sad and damaged ones, invasive billboards but also beautiful, big linden trees, fancy shops and flea markets - so I promise you will have a full experience.

Unfortunately, the boulevard is shared between cars and people, so the walk will not be very peaceful. However, there are two days per year when the entire boulevard is closed for traffic - on City day, October 14th and the Marathon day - sometime in September (September 27th for 2020) - and this is when I prefer to do my walk.

I am a curious person, so travelling is always about discovering and learning something new. Interestingly, the more I visit other cities, the more curious I become about my hometown, which is not easy to love. But I have understood that I do love Chisinau, as, when traveling, I always get to the point when I miss it, a feeling which always takes me back home. Why Chisi...

Raw Cafe

Vegan market & cafe

"Raw Cafe" is probably Chisinau's only raw vegan cafe. They have amazing desserts - my favorite one is made with peanuts and dried figs!

Restaurants

"CoffeeMolka" is a classic hidden gem. I've lived more than 20 years in Chișinău and I only discovered this coffee place set up like a museum last year!

Hidden Bar

Best Shisha

"Hidden Bar" is the best place in Chisinau to dive in for a few hours and lay back with a shisha or a great cocktail!

Marlene Bar

The hidden summer terrace

"Marlene Bar" in Chisinau might not even have the best cocktails in town (although I like them), but the atmosphere of this European-style bar is worth it!
