Travelling around the city we will find very different building situations, with a clear architecture and old Soviet style that does not hide cultural ties with neighboring Romania and a propensity for modern Western architecture, with glass buildings and decidedly strong lines and a few meters. behind the great streets, small and modest houses of 2 or 3.The citizens of Chisinau, about 700,000 represent economic-social paradoxes, with ostentation of wealth and dignified poverty. Chaotic traffic at all hours, with cars ringing and running through the wide city streets, but very attentive and respectful for those who cross the pedestrian strips. Deafening sirens of ambulances all the time. I noticed an almost total absence of scooters and motorcycles and very few bicycles. Chapter aside for the shops... an incredible number of tiny small shops, kiosks and makeshift stalls more or less authorized. Hairdressers and pharmacies every 20 meters, large hifi and telephony shops. An endless expanse of currency exchanges and ATMs, and consequently many banks. A city in the city is the great central market ... immense, a maze of alleys between stalls, tiny small shops and large rooms intended for the sale of meat, fish and cheese, a world full of scents and colors to photograph. Last sad note of travel.... many, too many beggars, this puts a lot of melancholy.Recommended equipment : I deliberately shot with a mirrorless, very useful indeed indispensable for the street especially at the central market, but on the next trip I will also bring a reflex, the retro architecture deserves a deepening.Best months : summer, early autumn and spring, winter is definitely coldHow to get there : continuous air flights from Italy (Rome Fiumicino) arriving at the international airport in Chisinau.from there with a few Lei (about 1st 20 lei) by taxi or trolleybus in the center of the city.Visits : to visit the museums of course you have to pay the ticket, few Lei, the change for us Italians is discreetly convenient.to visit churches and other places of worship there is no ticketNotes : | | Nearby:   Iasi 96 km
