Overview

I do postcards with my drawings and budget tours to top attractions and hidden gems of Pridnestrovie. 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 relics, curious history and nowadays life in the country that doesn’t exist, combining classic walk with forays for true explorers and adventurers.

Tour takes ~ 2,5 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, plus 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, real name is Pridnestrovie ☭
You won’t be meeting a guide, you will be meeting a friend!

Itinerary

  • Default route covers best modern bits and soviet relics of Tiraspol. It is not strict consumerist kind of deal, we are free to decide where to go and what to do. There is enough to see for a two day tour so you can imagine - no matter how much I will tell and no matter how fast I speak - it will be just top of an iceberg. But we will dive as deep as possible. Take a look behind the iron curtain, discover Pridnestrovie- the most epic remnant among USSR debris.

  • Optional loop to the back of 100 rouble note

  • Since 1972 generalissimo Alexander Suvorov is standing at the central square of Tiraspol, he is considered to be the founder of the city. No spoilers, more curious history during the tour itself!

  • and veggie market, surprisingly modern!

  • Government building from soviet era with comrade Lenin in front. You can find it on the back of fifty rouble note. Transnistrian roubles, of course.

  • Real combat tank that reminds of many important things, war and peace, darkness and sunshine. It is famous T-34. We will also walk out to the river bank, there is a nice view from the bridge.

  • Optional walk inside kvint factory, no tasting.

  • Aviator memorial can be found at Balka dst. It commemorates thirty years of victory in the Great Patriotic war. I didnu2019t add all hidden gems in between these listed attractions, but they are great to make the tour really unforgettable and contrast! Each tour is tailored, itinerary is always different.

  • Are you heading to Transnistria, the country that doesnu2019t exist? Spoiler alert! Transnistria really doesnu2019t exist! Because the real name of the country is Pridnestrovie. Or, if you have enough breath, Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic! Read between the lines, dig up history and and you will know, or much better, come for real! Beyond borders, restrictions and propaganda! Welcome to Pridnestrovie, we make cognac not war!
