Young Pioneer City Tour
Join us for a Young Pioneer City Tour in Pridnestrovie (formerly Transnistria), our bestselling adventure to the last remnant of the USSR. Explore the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR), one of Europe’s four frozen conflict zones.
We begin from intersection of Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx Streets, walking past the KGB headquarters hidden between kindergartens, and schools. Visit Tiraspol’s main square, the best Open Air Green market in the whole Moldavia, home to the largest Lenin statue, a historic WWII tank, the House of Soviets, and Gagarin Square. Experience Tiraspol University and the Drama Theatre for a cultural touch. In Summer you are welcome to swim with locals in River Dniester on one of the isilated abandond beaches.
Optional extras include shopping for Soviet-era souvenirs, trying local “Made in Pridnestrovie” products, enjoying a meal at a Soviet-style canteen, or sharing tea/coffee with locals at their home.
