Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

In the morning, you will discover Tighina Fortress located in Tighina town and built in the 15th century by the prince of Moldova, Stephen the Great. Originally built as a small wooden fort, it was later fortified in stone by the prince of Moldova, Petru Rares. Occupied by the Ottomans in 1538 (in a campaign led by the sultan Suleiman the Magnificent), the fort was strengthened in 1541 and became the center of an Ottoman "raya" (in which were included the surrounding Moldavian villages). In the 18th century, the fort was strengthened by Moldovan craftsmen under the direct supervision of Dimitrie Cantemir. Tighina Fortress is an architectural ensemble of irregular quadrilateral plan, surrounded by wide walls, 2-3 meters thick, made of limestone and brick.

In the afternoon, you will have lunch at a restaurant in Tiraspol.

After lunch, you will take a journey back in time through Tiraspol. You will start by visiting the Vladimir Lenin monument, the Baron Munchausen monument, and tanks left from the Second World War. The city seems to be a ghost of the Soviet past.
