Exploring Chisinau at Night, Chisinau, Moldova

Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, is a small city of fewer than 1 million people. However, what the city lacks in size, it more than makes up in the warmth of its inhabitants, and the beauty of its arts.

Why did we explore Chisinau at night? Our car broke down early in the morning and it took us the entire day to have it fixed. Luckily, with a great help of our AirBnB host, Alexandra, we were able to explore the town in the evening. Through the great help of Alexandra (a big thanks to you if you’re reading this), we managed to visit several places which can make an evening seem magical.

You can start your evening walk at the Moldova National Opera Ballet. The building is beautifully lit during the evening and the architecture itself is also very impressive. It’s a serene experience to walk past the water fountains which line the front of the building, whilst talking to friends or just enjoying the brisk evening air.

With a mixture of shows and performances every month, you can even stop in for one if you feel like it.

After you’ve finished walking around the Moldova National Opera Ballet, it’s time to explore the next place on our list of walking destinations for Chisinau at night: Cathedral Park. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
