From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
The Soroca fort was built by Stefan cel Mare in 1499. It was an important link in the chain of fortifications which today are located in Moldova and Ukraine along the Nistru river. Hours can be sporadic especially in the winter.
On the road into town, 5 km to the south of Soroca there is a Monument called "The Candle of Gratitude". You can reach the 29.5-m (98 feet) summit by walking up the 600 stairs.
The hill on the west side of town has numerous ornately decorated Roma houses
Stroll along the Nistru riverfront, thinking about how nice it would be if someone just tended it a bit. Strike a converation with all the fishermen catching today's dinner.
Looks a bit shabby, but this restaurant has really good and cheap local food. No English menu.
Nice pub/bar with roof terrace looking out over the Nistru river and into Ukraine.
Fair priced hotel in the middle of the city centre. The hotel is very nice, clean and up to standards. Friendly and service minded staff.
Market square hosting stalls with clothes, foods, etc.
Buses go several times daily from Gara de Nord in Chișinău; and once an hour on the hour from Soroca, the last one at 18:00 (July 2018).
