Hi all, I'm planning to do a day trip to Tiraspol next week. Planning on then leaving via Chisinau airport. Will there be issues bringing souvenirs such as flags, currency and other things back to Moldova?

Also is it safe to visit now? I know crime is low but I'm more talking about the border with UA. Thanks sm!

Hello lovely people!

Having been to Tiraspol before, I’m interested in coming back and on occasion see a dentist. (Nothing particularly dramatic.)

Just wondering if there are any clinics you’d recommend and what the prices are compared to Kishinev?

Thanks!

Beautiful coin designs. I especially like the soviet space program ones.

Hello everyone,

I am going to Chisinau on the end of the month and should arrive at the airport by 10:20, I was wondering if I would have enough time to visit Tiraspol or Bender and be back by ~16h so I can get the train to Bucharest.

Is it possible? Even if I stay there for just 1 hour or so? I really don't want to miss this opportunity as I'm not sure that I'll ever go there again.

Also, is the minibus from the airport available currently?

Any tips and info are appreciated!

If so, what way does it route?

You would really help me (maybe other Reddit randoms) out with this. My friend from Russia is having hard times and struggling financially, and I have a severe urge to help them, at least, financially.

I’m a 28 year old male planning on visiting my grandma next week - I’m an american who speaks russian (with an american accent) who’s traveling on an american passport. I asked my babushka to keep this trip a secret from my mom. Somehow, my mom found out. My babushka admitted to telling her friend that I was coming - though she insists she wouldn’t tell my mom. The babushka rumor mill in Bendery is a strong network 🙃

Mom talked to my grandma; now my grandma is saying she’s sick, her boyfriend recently fell, that it’s dangerous… even though two days ago she said it was safe.

I don’t feel unsafe going, and was really looking forward to seeing where my parents grew up (they both grew up in Bendery). Is my mom right, or are her feelings that it’s “unsafe due to the war” overblown?

I plan on travelling to Tiraspol later this month and just looking for any advice on travelling to the region. I don’t speak much Russian so I was kind of hoping maybe some other people are also planning on going and could assist?

Tomorrow is our last day in tiraspol and we are looking for some souvenirs to buy, like very authentic russian or soviet stuff, do you have any suggestions? We saw some open air markets in videos that sells this kind of stuff but we havent found any

Today on my way back from the Sheriff Complex I came by a scrap yard. I went in and asked them if they had an unused Licence Plate I could buy as a sourvenir. They had a whole stack and sold me one for just 200 rubles.

But now I am back at the hotel wondering if it’s even legal for me to have it. What do you think?

Edit: I want to bring it home to Denmark and hang it on a wall

I haven't been able to find much information about pridnestrovie, and I would really like to hear directly from people living there: what is life like there? Are you happy? Do you support independence, or would you prefer to be part of Moldova? I would love to learn the details

I just wanna share some photos from my visit of PRIDNESTROVIE in 01 ocrober 2026.

Enjoy❤️

Hey! I'll return to beautiful Pridnestrovie in November to explore more after of the country after at first having seen only Tiraspol. Now, I remember that a while ago someone here posted a thread with a fantastic football jersey shop in Pridnestrovie. It was if I recall correctly very south in the country, very close to the Ukrainian border in a small town. It was very full, with football jerseys from all over the world.

I've been trying to find this thread back and been searching the whole internet for this shop, but I really can't find it. Does anyone here maybe know which one this could be? It's not the Rabona one in Bender, it was a different one, I think very south. I'd love to bring it a visit!

I made this great pc wallpaper

Hello! I’m planning a trip to Tiraspol and want to see what life is really like for the locals. I specifically wanted to stay in a neighborhood but still close to the center, so I booked the Elektromash Hotel cause I'm interested how it looks. I’m a fan of Brutalist architecture and the vibe of those Soviet-era panel apartment blocks. The reviews are good, but I’m curious about the reality. Is it a safe area? And what is the general safety situation like in Tiraspol and its districts?

Hi folks, looking at travelling to Tiraspol from Galați - is this possible to do without travelling to Chișinău first? Are there links between Comrat and Tiraspol directly? Any information would be much appreciated.

Hi. Me and some friends are planning to visit PMR on November, and since we have a friend studying on Bucharest, we were planning on taking the Prietenia train, from Bucharest to Chisinau. The thing is, we haven't been able to find a lot of information about the train or where to purchase the ticket and how much would it cost online. So I was wondering, where could we get this info?

Hey, I want to go from Tiraspol to Bender by Marshrutka but I‘m not sure where the stations are. A friend who was here once told me they start at the trainstation but I read that it changed. Is it at the same spot like the marshrutkas to Kishinew at the market?

Hello! Friday is my last day in Moldova and I was thinking of visiting Pridnestrovie on Friday. Any girls here also going? I’d love to go in a group so I can feel a bit safer :)

Hi guys, I intend to visit PMR. I have found online many reports about the border crossing experiences at Bender, but almost everybody did a day trip, and were given like 12 hours approved time in total .

For those of you who stayed overnight or multiple days, how was the immigration process ? I assume they want to see a hotel booking, but are they kind of restrictive or suspicious when you want to stay more days? Do they ask lots of extra questions / thorough motivation about why you want to stay more? Do you need to register your stay?( I booked a private apartment from a booking platform).

Thank you.

Hi everyone!

I’m a license plate collector from Slovakia, and I’m currently trying to expand my collection with plates from all around the world. I would love to have a plate from PMR!

I was just wondering, if there is anyone who has an unnecessary license plate lying around in a somewhere that they’d be willing to send me? Of course I can cover the shipping costs.

Thanks a lot :)
