From Stockholm to a City of Sun, Parks, and Wine
After the solemn, restrained, yet majestic Stockholm, Chisinau feels... warmer. Yes, it's not a textbook city. But here, there are many places where you can make your own discoveries.
Here’s what you should know about the capital of Moldova:
- One of the greenest capitals in Eastern Europe. Chisinau has over 30 parks and squares. If you love peace and quiet, like on Djurgården in Stockholm, Valea Morilor Park will become your favorite.
- Legends are hidden beneath your feet. The Cricova and Mileștii Mici wine tunnels are some of the largest in the world. Their length is greater than the Stockholm metro line. No joke.
- Accessibility and comfort. While a cup of coffee in Stockholm can cost you almost as much as a small investment, in Chisinau, for the same money, you’ll get not only a coffee but also a tasty plăcintă and a smile from the barista.
- New gastronomic experiences. Moldovan cuisine is something special, even though it may seem simple at first glance. Mămăligă (cornmeal porridge), zama (chicken soup with noodles and vegetables), plăcinte (pancakes with fillings to suit every taste), homemade wines... Trust, here they know how to treat you with sincerity and in a way that will definitely stay with you.
- The people. The most valuable treasure of Chisinau. They skillfully combine European politeness with sincere hospitality.
The Stockholm–Chisinau flights open up not just a route, but new stories for you. You can easily buy Stockholm–Chisinau tickets, find cheap tickets, check the flight schedule, and take advantage of deals or promo codes — all with just a few clicks.

5 Things That Will Make You Want to Stay in Chisinau for One More Day
- Watch the Sunrise at Valea Morilor Park
Oh, this isn’t just a park. It’s a place where the city slowly wakes up. Rent a boat on the lake or find a bench with a view of the water — this is where the most atmospheric photos are taken for those craving nature after Scandinavian urban life.
- Take a Wine Tour in the Cricova Tunnels
In Stockholm, the metro is just transportation. In Chisinau, the metro is a wine tunnel over 120 km long. A tour with a tasting lets you sample rare wines and hear stories about bottles that have been stored here for over 50 years.
- Try Authentic Zama and Plăcinte
No tourist traps here. They cook using old recipes. Order zama (a local chicken soup with vegetables and egg) and plăcinte with cheese and herbs. Don’t refuse the traditional Moldovan drinks either.
- Discover the Art Space Tipografia 5
A former printing house has turned into a venue for creative evenings, concerts, and contemporary art exhibitions. It’s easy to meet local artists here or just enjoy a coffee in an art-house atmosphere.
- Find the “Secret Balcony” in the City Center
On Sciusev Street, there’s an old building with a balcony that’s become popular among photographers. From here, you get a view of the red rooftops and the evening city. The perfect place for the most romantic photo of your trip.

Useful Tips for Your Trip
To make your Stockholm–Chisinau journey smooth and enjoyable, pay attention to these helpful tips. They will save you time, money, and nerves 😉
- For Ukrainians: Be sure to check the validity of your international passport. A visa is not required for transit through Moldova, but your documents must be valid for at least 3 months after your entry date.
- For Foreigners: Clarify the entry requirements for Moldova in advance (EU, Swedish, and many other citizens can enter without a visa).
- Chisinau Airport is compact and convenient. Check-in is quick, but during peak hours (morning flights), we recommend arriving 2 hours before departure.
- It’s best to order a taxi through the Letz or Hip (iTaxi) — trust us, it’s cheaper and more reliable than catching a ride at the terminal.
- If your trip is short, opt for hand luggage — this saves on baggage fees and allows for a quicker exit from the plane.
- The airport arrival zone has a currency exchange with a good rate. For small expenses, it’s better to have some cash in Moldovan lei with you.
- It’s better to stay in the city center (areas near Valea Morilor Park or Pushkin Street) — it’s safe and close to the main attractions.
- For budget options, there are plenty of apartments and hostels with good reviews.
- Public transport is cheap but not always convenient for tourists. So, you can use Letz or Hip (iTaxi).
- If you plan to continue your journey to Ukraine, it’s best to buy bus or train tickets in advance online.
- Most cafés and shops accept bank cards, but small expenses (markets, souvenirs) are better paid in cash.
- The tap water in Chisinau is suitable for washing and cooking, but for drinking, it’s better to buy bottled water.
In the evening, central areas of the city are safe for walking.
