If you travel with light luggage you may use the cheapest and very popular way of transport in Chisinau - minibus or maxitaxi. Its price is 2 lei (approx. 20 cents) and you have to pay the fee at the entrance by passing the money to the driver.
From the TRAIN STATION
Minibus
number 166. (Zoologicheskaya
str. - bd. Dacia - Train Station - Albisoara str. - Circus - Ryshkani
- Pan Com supermarket - Aleco Ruso str. - Bd. M. cel Batrin - P. Zadnipru
str - M. Spataru str)
You may catch the minibus at the trolley-bus station - on the exit of the train station go straight and left.
Usual duration of this trip is 30 minutes. Ask the driver to make a stop on M. Spataru intersection with I. Vieru street. My house is on the corner of these streets. The reference point is "Alimentara" (food store), with a bar and a drugstore at the corner of the building.
Cost of taxi may vary from 3 to 5 Euro.
From the CENTRAL BUS STATION
Minibus
number 105 .
It has a stop at the corner of Bulgara and Columna streets. One quarter
left and down with your back to the market. On the map extraction circled
number 87 is the bus station and squared number 10 is the minibus stop.
Usual duration of this trip is 20 minutes. Ask the driver to make a stop on M. Spataru intersection with I. Vieru street. My house is on the corner of these streets. The reference point is "Alimentara" (food store), with a bar and a drugstore at the corner of the building.
Cost of taxi may vary from 3 to 5 Euro.
From the "GARA DE NORD" bus station
Minibus
number 191 .
Turn left on the exit of the buss station, cross the Ismail street and catch the minibus 191 at the corner.
CAUTION! This is the middle of the minibus's route and there may not be enough space for your backpack in it.
Usual duration of this trip is 25 minutes. Get out at the last stop of the minibus on Igor Vieru street. My house is opposite to the minibus stop and has an "Alimentara" (food store), a bar and a drugstore at its corner. Entrance from the yard.
Cost of taxi may vary from 3 to 5 Euro.

From the AIRPORT Minibus 165 to Ismail street (last stop) change to minibus number 191 . The whole trip may take up to 60 minutes and is not the best option when travelling with a big suitcase or backpack. Ismail street is somewhere in the middle of the 191 minibus' route and usually all seating and standing places are unavailable. Please, consider taking a taxi from the airport instead. Cost of taxi may vary from 10 to 15 Euro. |
"Glad
I asked for a pick-up from the train station though as I doubt I'd
have found my own way to her appartment by Marshrute Taxi - the
roads and buildings all look the same - it's hard enough when you've
already done the journey before!"
