Chisinau Railway Station
The Railway Station was bombed during World War II. It was redesigned in Stalinist style, and the current station no longer resembles the old one. It is both a place of progress and sorrow, as here 100,000 people were deported during USSR, often forced into labor camps where many perished.
Built in 1980, this monumental cultural center was designed by architects B. Vaisbein, S. Shoihet, and T. Lomova. Its dramatic silhouette — with sweeping red-brick curves resting on tall concrete colonnades — echoes the rhythm of trains and the grandeur of Soviet civic architecture. Once a hub for railway workers' cultural life, it still commands attention today.

Truly one of a kind

5.00This tour is an absolute must for anyone curious about Moldova’s culture, history, and life under communism. Elena, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely kind. We explored Moldova’s past, from its early history to the rise and fall of communism, while hearing what everyday life was really like during those years. Along the way, Elena brought us to some of the city’s hidden gems, Soviet era architecture, brutalist buildings, old statues, and a Soviet style canteen where we stopped for lunch. We talked about Moldova’s culture, politics, and identity, and wrapped up the day at a local bar with drinks inspired by local traditions. The whole experience felt thoughtfully curated and wonderfully immersive. Instead of a tour, it was like wandering through the city with a local friend who loves her hometown and wants to share its stories. Truly one of a kind these hidden places are as unique as they are beautiful.
Must see your! Seriously!!!

5.00This really is a must see tour of Chisinau. And yes you should visit Chisinau—what an amazing city! Elena showed me incredible places around the city while explaining Moldova’s history. She is an amazing human being and you will really enjoy learning about the CCCP from the perspective of Moldova. If you are going to Chisinau, look no further! Get a tour from Elena.
