• House of Soviets - Embark on a day-long adventure with a dynamic route that blends classic walks with explorations for true adventurers. No monotonous monument tours with dull lectures here. Instead of the usual “Look left, there’s a building, look right, there’s a monument,” the aim is to reveal the authentic country and hidden treasures that travelers might not discover on their own. Many of the destinations are not listed to prevent the tourist industry from spoiling them. However, the first stop will definitely be DOM SOVIETOV to greet comrade Lenin, a perfect way to begin the journey.
• The Christmas Cathedral - An optional loop through the 100 rouble back side.
• The Suvorov Monument - The day trip will feature highlights, top attractions, and favorite hidden gems that remain undisclosed here. These unique spots will likely make the journey unforgettable. One of the known attractions will be the Alexander Suvorov monument in the central square.
• Green Market Center - A surprisingly modern vegetable market. What is termed eco-products here are simply products in this country.
• Eternal Flame - The eternal flame and memorial for those who fell in the Great Patriotic War.
• The Tank Monument - The T-34 is one of the most significant memorials in Transnistria. It is a real combat tank whose crew was killed in Hungary as Soviet troops advanced towards Berlin.
• Palacio Presidencial - The Palace of Pioneers, Supreme Soviet with comrade Lenin in front.
• Chitcani Monastery (Noul Neamt) - An optional visit to Kitskany village and Noul Neamt Monastery to experience a bit of city life and a bit of rural life, showcasing the contrast.
• Mig-19 Monument - Pridnestrovie is rumored to be “back to the USSR,” but it’s more complex than that. Being in the right place at the right time is essential to capture that impression. One of the favorite spots to experience this is the Aviators memorial at Balka district, commemorating 30 years of victory in the Great Patriotic War.
• Soviet Canteen - The journey will be diverse and contrasting, blending history with modern life, picturesque panoramas, and impressive Soviet relics. The itinerary is flexible, with some planned and some spontaneous parts, encouraging openness to the world and all potential adventures. The guide will not only narrate stories but also connect travelers to the real country and its people.

In summer, kvas, a cool refreshing drink made of water, bread, yeast, and sugar, is sold on the streets. It’s an opportunity to try something authentic, with a recipe unchanged since communist times.

A favorite lunch spot is the Soviet canteen - Stolovka USSR. It’s a super tasty, atmospheric, and authentic place with a charming interior, making it a perfect lunch stop.

• Kvint - The cognac distillery is optional and can be arranged only upon agreement a few days before the tour. While many countries have wineries, monasteries, and castles, there are many intriguing nooks and crannies discovered through drawings that aren’t listed on TripAdvisor but will make the day unforgettable and the tour unique. There will be time to discuss the peculiarities of life in this unrecognized country, which is safe, intriguing, and welcoming. Mount up, comrades! You won’t just meet a guide; you’ll meet a friend!
• Tiraspol - One lunch option is the reincarnated Soviet canteen, an amazing and still underrated place. Perhaps it’s better that it remains undiscovered and not overcrowded by tourists.
• Bendery Fortress - Bendery, the second-largest town in this unique land, offers Soviet and medieval sights. On request, visitors can explore the old Turkish fortress on the Dniester River bank. Although it was once abandoned, it still offers a stunning view from the main tower, a challenging climb but a visual delight. Each tour is customized, allowing exploration of Bendery’s Soviet gems instead. It’s the guide’s hometown, filled with hidden spots where time seems to have stood still.
• Transnistria - Each day is unique, and entrusting your time to this guide means experiencing life, not just a tour. Beyond borders and propaganda, visitors are invited to see the reality. Welcome to Pridnestrovie, where cognac is made, not war!
