This walking tour with a local guide uncovers the hidden gems and everyday charm of Chisinau, one of Europe’s least-visited and most underrated capitals. Away from the obvious sights, the guide leads visitors through leafy boulevards, tucked-away courtyards, Soviet-era architecture and local haunts, sharing stories of the city’s history, culture and character. Personal, relaxed and full of insight, it is a wonderful way to get beneath the surface of this green, low-key capital and to see it through the eyes of someone who calls it home.
