Transnistria tour

Located 40 miles south-east of Chisinau in the Nistru Valley, Tiraspol is considered to be a living museum of Soviet culture. With a population of 200,000 the city still has its share of Lenin statues, monuments like a T-34 tank on a pedestal, and retained street names; but Tiraspol has few restaurants and cafes and nothing in the way of Western conveniences or service.

During the city tour you will see the Pokrov Church (Intercession of the Virgin), the Republican Drama and Comedy Theatre, Central Post office, the Lenin and Suvorov Monuments, the Kirov Square, and the ruins of the Srednyaya Fortress (on the outskirts of town).
