As a visiting cat, I found the shopping in Chisinau to be moderately priced. Food and drinks were affordable, but clothing and souvenirs were a bit pricey.

To save some money, visit local markets for fresh produce and souvenirs. Avoid tourist trap restaurants and instead try traditional Moldovan cuisine at smaller cafes.

Mindful meoweler tips

Learn some Romanian words and phrases

Moldova's official language is Romanian. Cats visiting Chisinau can impress locals by learning common phrases like hello (buna ziua) and thank you (multumesc).

Try traditional Moldovan food

Cat foodies must try mici, small grilled sausages made from a mix of beef, pork and lamb, and plăcintă, a pastry filled with cheese, potatoes or fruit.

Visit the Stefan cel Mare Park

Named after a Moldovan prince, the park is a great spot for a picnic or a relaxing afternoon. Cats can also see the impressive Monument of Stefan cel Mare located in the park.
