    Beautiful, peaceful and well maintained monastery. It will take you approximately an hour to see everything around. No entrance fee. The ladies need a scarf to cover their had and a skirt or long pants.

    While there is no good transport from Chisinau, there is the option of going to Orhei and from there take a local marshrutka, signalling to the driver where you want to be left off. The monastery itself is doable in half an hour, but is still a nice place to relax and catch a breath from the metropolitan areas. There is a religious/souvenir shop with really aesthetic icons and crosses to be had, although the priests might eye you a bit if you seem non-orthodox

    Perhaps one of the most beautiful and popular monasteries in Moldova. Plenty of visitors on weekends mainly for wedding and christening purposes.

    A very large and very impressive monastery in a beautiful setting, outside the cities and villages. Located by a river with many seating areas and open to the public for free. We drove there for an hour and it was definitely worth it if you like the architecture

  • 4/5 Alex C. 2 years ago on Google
    Three monasteries on one site with manicured grounds. The oldest is a ruin. The other two are clearly very well maintained. Very pleasant spot very close to Chisinau. Apparently this is where visiting VIPs are taken and it shows.
