Overview

I do postcards with my drawings and budget tours to top attractions and hidden gems of Transnistria. 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 lost places, curious history and nowadays life in the country that doesn't exist, combining classic walk with forays for true explorers and adventurers.
Day tour takes 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, Bendery and optionallly Kitskany, and 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, you won’t be meeting a guide, you will be meeting a friend ☭

Activity itinerary

House of Soviets (Pass by)

This is a day journey with a volatile route that combines classic walk and forays for true adventurers. No moving between monuments with boring lectures. - “Look to the left, there is a building, look to the right, there is a monument”…. My ideology is to show real country and hidden gems that travelers wouldn’t find themselves. That’s why most places where we may actually go are not listed here. I can’t reveal them without risk that tourist industry will take them and spoil them. Anyway, first step - we will definitely stop by DOM SOVIETOV to say hello to comrade Lenin, what can be a better start?

The Christmas Cathedral

Optional loop through 100 rouble back side.

The Suvorov Monument

Day trip will include highlights, top attractions and my favorite hidden gems that I won’t display here. But probably it will be exactly them making the journey unique and unforgettable. One the known attractions will be Alexander Suvorov monument on the central square.

Green Market Center

Surprisingly modern veggie market. What they call eco products - for my country is just products.

Eternal Flame

Eternal flame and memorial for fallen in Great Patriotic war.

The Tank Monument

T-34 is one the most significant memorials in Transnistria. Real combat tank which crew was killed in Hungary when soviet troops were already going to Berlin.

Palacio Presidencial

Palace of pioneers, Supreme Soviet with comrade Lenin in front.

Chitcani Monastery (Noul Neamt)

1h 30m

Optional throw to Kitskany village and Noul Neamt Monastery. To see a bit of a city, a bit of rural, the contrast.

Mig-19 Monument

Pridnestrovie is rumored to be “back to USSR” but actually it is more complicated than that, you need to be at the right time, at the right place and frame your look to get that impression. One of my favorite gems to catch that is Aviators memorial at Balka dst. commemorating 30 years of victory in the Great Patriotic war.

Soviet Canteen "USSR"

1h
Admission ticket not included

The journey will be multi-sided and contrast, curiously history and nowadays life, picturesque panoramas and impressive soviet lost places. We are very volatile where to go, what to see, some parts are planned, some parts are optional or spontaneous, let’s be open to the outside world and all probable adventures. I will be not only storyteller, but a conductor to the real country and its people. In summer time they start to sell kvas in the streets, cool refreshing drink made of water, bread, yeast and sugar. You may like it or not, but that’s a chance to try something authentic, the recipe is same as back in communist times. My favorite lunch place is Soviet canteen - Stolovka USSR. Super tasty, super atmospheric, authentic place with nice interior - perfect lunchbox stop

Kvint

45m
Admission ticket included

Cognac distillery is optional and can be arranged only upon agreement a few days before the tour. But many countries have wineries, monasteries, castles. On the other hand, I discovered many curious nooks and crannies doing my drawings, they are not listed in trip advisor but will make the day unforgettable and the tour unique. We will have time to talk about all peculiarities of life in the country that doesn’t exist, this is my native land and I lived in Pridnestrovie from the foundation of the state. It is totally safe, intriguing and hospitable, mount up, comrades! You won’t be meeting a guide, you will be meeting a friend!

Tiraspol

One of the options where to get lunch is reincarnated Soviet canteen, the place is amazing and still awfully underrated. Well, maybe it’s even better that it’s not discovered and overfilled by tourists

Bendery Fortress

1h
Admission ticket included

Bendery - second largest town of nowhereland has soviet and medieval sightseeings, on demand we may visit old Turkish fortress on the bank of Dniester river. I loved it when it was abandoned but now it still has one positive feature - the view from the main tower, a challenge to climb, but feast for the eyes. Each tour is tailored so we may explore Soviet gems of Bendery instead, it’s my hometown and hides many places you wouldn’t find alone - where time stood still.

Transnistria

Each day is not like other, in case you decide to entrust your time to me - it’s not a tour, it’s life. Beyond borders and propaganda. Horse blinders off, come and see for real. Welcome to Pridnestrovie, we make cognac, not war!
