2 days in Chisinau Itinerary

Chișinău Etymology and namesThe origin of the city's name is unclear, but in one version, the name comes from the archaic Romanian word chișla (meaning "spring", "source of water") and nouă ("new"), because it was built around a small spring, at the corner of Pușkin and Albișoara streets.The other version, formulated by Ștefan Ciobanu, Romanian historian and academician, holds that the name was formed the same way as the name of Chișineu (alternative spelling: Chișinău) in Western Romania, near the border with Hungary. Start off your visit on the 13th (Mon): don't miss a visit to Victory Memorial and Eternal Flame, walk around Stefan cel Mare Park, and then do a tasting at Cricova Winery. Get ready for a full day of sightseeing on the next day: learn about winemaking at Milestii Mici, take in the architecture and atmosphere at The Metropolitan Cathedral “Nativity of the Lord”, then stroll around Dendrarium Park, and finally pause for some photo ops at Sculpture of Lovers.
