1Valea Morilor Park

Park
Valea Morilor Park is a serene and leafy park located in Chisinau, Moldova. It was established in the 1950s as a Soviet-style Central Park of Culture and Rest, featuring a manmade lake that offers an artificial beach for swimming. The park is popular among locals and tourists for its tranquil atmosphere, walking paths, theater, playground, and small amusement park.
Just beautiful. As a tourist I really enjoyed my visits to this park. It has a very social but warm feel to it and it’s an ideal place to walk around, run around (as I did), or just sit and enjoy the calmness of the place. It seems to be a favourite amongst the locals, and rightfully so. The park is very well preserved and is clean. There are coffee shops along the way and places where one can buy food too. It’s a bit of a walk from the main area of Chişinău, but the efficiency and reliability of the public transport in the city makes it worth while for a visit.
Louis — Google review
A peaceful green space in the heart of Chisinau, perfect for a leisurely walk or quiet reflection. Locals come here with their families, kids, and even fishing poles — adding to the relaxed, lived-in vibe. The lake is the centerpiece, with tree-lined paths circling it and plenty of benches to take it all in. The cascading staircase leading down to the lake adds a touch of drama and charm. Not overly touristy — just an authentic slice of local life in motion.

Dendrariu Park is an urban green space that houses a variety of recreational facilities such as playgrounds, sports grounds, fountains, and gardens. The park also offers trails for walking or jogging and features a lake with benches for relaxation. The area is decorated with statues of past monarchs that add to its historical significance. Although some parts of the park may appear dull during certain seasons, it still offers beautiful scenery that can be captured in photos.
Beautiful garden to the north west of the city. Lots of trees, including magnolias and many more, flowers (tulips, daffodils, pansies). You can reach the garden with the trolleybus nr. 22 which it takes about 20 minutes from the city centre (trolleybus stop: Strada Ștefan Neaga).The ride on the trolleybus is 6 lei and the entrance to the garden is 10 lei (adults).

One of my favorite places in Chisinau, Moldova, is the Arboretum! We come there year-round to relax and admire the nature. There's a lot of greenery, beautiful shrubs and trees, and plenty of flower beds. The lake is full of fish, and you can feed them from the platform. There are several playgrounds for children, and many come with their families.
Olga A — Google review
The entrance fee to the park is 10 lei for adults. The 78-hectare park is home to plants from Moldova and 50 countries around the world, with carefully tended flowers and lawns. The tranquil atmosphere includes white lilies in a pond, a small waterfall, a children's playground, table tennis and other small sports facilities. We saw many families in the park, as well as groups of young students from Chisinau, who seemed to be looking for a relaxing time.

Great big park, 10 MDL to enter, but there you got a lot of ground to cover. You can sit on the grass, have a picnic, go to a yoga class. The toilet is free and you don't have a store or coffee shop there, so make sure you bring your own water or to eat and drink.

The park I visited today was a wonderful place that offered the tranquility of nature and an escape from the stress of city life. With its expansive green spaces, colorful flowers, and serene pond, it felt like a slice of paradise. Walking along the park's trails while listening to the chirping of birds truly refreshed my spirit. This park, where people of all ages can enjoy themselves, is one of the most beautiful spots in the city.

Stephen the Great Central Park, also known as Pushkin Park or The Park of the Lovers, is a serene oasis in Chisinau, Moldova. Established in 1818 by the Russian Army Engineer Corps and later redesigned by architect Alexander Bernardazzi, this 17-acre park features landscaped gardens, monuments, and a large fountain. It is a popular meeting spot for couples and offers benches and shade to escape the summer heat.
The park is telling you the story.... Historic place, indeed and very popular too. Great spot for meeting and socialising with friends and family. Lovely atmosphere; welcoming bars and restaurants on your way, while walking along the alley surrounded by the memorial busts of the national heroes. Just have your cake and enjoy it.

Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Eternity Memorial Complex is a significant and solemn site dedicated to soldiers who perished in World War II. The complex features a huge war memorial park with a massive monument and an eternal flame. Visitors can witness the changing of the guard ceremony, which is particularly moving during national holidays. Families often visit the park, enjoying its peaceful atmosphere and green spaces for children and dogs to play.
In contrast to the adjacent city cemetery, this place is a very open space, featuring mostly very large memorials. The main memorial is a group of stylised concrete rifles converging above the Eternal Flame. The plaza is flanked on one side by a group of imposing red bas reliefs. There are some stray dogs who live here, but they seem harmless.
Richard B — Google review
A striking and solemn tribute to Moldova’s fallen soldiers, especially those from World War II. We took a taxi from our hotel and asked the driver to wait, expecting a brief visit — but the monument draws you in. The central structure, shaped like a five-pointed star with an eternal flame, is surrounded by dramatic sculptural elements and commemorative walls that add context to the wartime sacrifices. While there were no ceremonial guards during our visit, the site is clean, quiet, and respectfully maintained. It’s more than a photo stop — it’s a place to pause, reflect, and absorb a somber part of the city’s history.
Sa S — Google review
A beautiful place built in the 20th century and it has a great history. If you want to understand the statues and symbols there, I think it is advisable to talk to a local guide from Chisinau in advance to help you understand the place and delve into its history.

The neoclassical cathedral, dating back to 1830, serves as the main Moldovan Orthodox church. The park offers a serene atmosphere for relaxation and contemplation, with well-maintained grounds and a 'writers' alley' that delves into the literary history of the area.

A peaceful and well-kept green space in the center of Chișinău, anchored by the beautiful Nativity Cathedral and its freestanding bell tower. Locals gather here for strolls, chats, and quiet relaxation — you’ll see families, students, and even chess players tucked under the trees. The park offers a nice mix of manicured paths, shady benches, and open space with views of nearby government buildings and monuments. A great spot to get a feel for the city’s rhythm — especially around sunset when the golden light hits the cathedral’s white facade. Don’t miss the nearby Arch of Triumph, just a short walk across the road.

Love this park! It’s in a super convenient location, easy to get to, and once you’re inside, it feels like a calm, green escape from the city. The whole place is very lush and well-maintained. There are two separate play areas for kids, which is great if you’re coming with little ones. Lots of space for them to run around and have fun safely. Plus, there are two spots to grab coffee and snacks—a big bonus if you’re planning to stay a while or just want to enjoy a cup while walking. Perfect place for families, casual meetups, or just relaxing outdoors. Highly recommended!

It was a very green and beautiful park. Incidentally, Arnelle was built in the early 1960s on 11 hectares of land that was once part of a Jewish cemetery. The Soviets moved the remains that had been moved for the park to a new burial ground, leaving part of the old cemetery intact. There is a memorial in the park called the 1903 Pogrom Memorial, which commemorates dozens of victims of the anti-Semitic riots in 1903 and 1905. The pogroms, in which hundreds were injured and thousands were forced to flee their homes, left many of Chisinau's Jewish population displaced. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, Jews have reportedly begun to return to Chisinau and elsewhere in Moldova.
