they redeem the gift voucher.
Overview
I do postcards with my drawings and budget tours to top attractions and hidden gems of Pridnestrovie. Transfer from Chishinau or start in Tiraspol. Honestly, I can’t make Maldives of my country, because it is not Maldives. But i can make an unforgettable journey through all contrasts of what it really is - beautiful panoramas and impressive soviet relics, curious history and nowadays life in the country that doesn't exist, combining classic walk with forays for true explorers and adventurers.
Tour takes ~ 2,5 hours. It is not Stalinism, we are very volatile where to go and what to do, but default route covers must-see USSR era and modern bits of Tiraspol, plus my favorite nooks and crannies that I discovered doing my sketches. The trip won’t be exhausting, not boring at all, we will have time to talk about all peculiarities of past and present of Transnistria, real name is Pridnestrovie ☭
You won’t be meeting a guide, you will be meeting a friend!

Meeting point
I highly recommend to stay overnight, now it is super easy, you can get up to 45 days free visa/registration paper right at the border - just provide address of hotel/hostel/Airbnb where you will stay. Transfer back to Chishinau is possible too, same 30€ for a drive one way, it’s about 2 hour road
The tours usually ends not where it is started, it depends on the route and venue point. It might end at House of Soviets, T34, bus station or any other.
Soviet canteen may be good meeting place, tasty cuisine and free WiFi.
It is actually Lenin street near the crossroad with 25 October street - “Stolovka SSSR naprotiv NAR SUDA” but adress is strada rosa luxemburg 66. You may set any venue point upon agreement!

House of SovietsDefault route covers best modern bits and soviet relics of Tiraspol. It is not strict consumerist kind of deal, we are free to decide where to go and what to do. There is enough to see for a two day tour so you can imagine - no matter how much I will tell and no matter how fast I speak - it will be just top of an iceberg. But we will dive as deep as possible. Take a look behind the iron curtain, discover Pridnestrovie- the most epic remnant among USSR debris.
-
The Christmas CathedralOptional loop to the back of 100 rouble note
-
The Suvorov MonumentSince 1972 generalissimo Alexander Suvorov is standing at the central square of Tiraspol, he is considered to be the founder of the city. No spoilers, more curious history during the tour itself!
-
Green Market Centerand veggie market, surprisingly modern!
-
Palacio PresidencialGovernment building from soviet era with comrade Lenin in front. You can find it on the back of fifty rouble note. Transnistrian roubles, of course.
-
The Tank MonumentReal combat tank that reminds of many important things, war and peace, darkness and sunshine. It is famous T-34. We will also walk out to the river bank, there is a nice view from the bridge.
-
KvintOptional walk inside kvint factory, no tasting.
-
Mig-19 MonumentAviator memorial can be found at Balka dst. It commemorates thirty years of victory in the Great Patriotic war. I didn’t add all hidden gems in between these listed attractions, but they are great to make the tour really unforgettable and contrast! Highly recommend brutal tour - some lost places we have here are more impressive than Chernobyl. My wife says no one should go to Chernobyl, but every other traveler I meet either just came from there or is heading there next. Luckily there was no radiation here, it was ussr collapse. Finally we have an option to go to some eerie lost places from gone era that will satisfy lovers of Tarkovsky cinematography or post-apocalyptic movies, it is a way to explore “exclusion zone” without radiation risk or crowds of people you definitely see around in actual Chernobyl exclusion zone. I also can’t reveal these places here, just make notice, adventurers, it’s also tour of a lifetime!

TiraspolAre you heading to Transnistria, the country that doesn’t exist? Spoiler alert! Transnistria really doesn’t exist! Because the real name of the country is Pridnestrovie.

Beyond borders, restrictions and propaganda! Welcome to Pridnestrovie, we make cognac not war!
