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 11th (Mon): do a tasting at Cricova Winery, then walk around Dendrarium Park, and then stroll around Stefan cel Mare Park. On the next day, take an in-depth tour of National Museum of Ethnography and Natural History, contemplate the long history of Stephen the Great Monument, then pause for some serene contemplation at The Metropolitan Cathedral “Nativity of the Lord”, and finally admire the landmark architecture of Triumphal Arch.
