Piata Centrala (Central Market)
Piata Centrala is Chisinau's main market and one of the largest bazaars in Eastern Europe. This sprawling market complex covers several city blocks and offers everything from fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and Moldovan wines to clothing, electronics, and household goods. The atmosphere is vibrant and chaotic, providing an authentic glimpse into everyday Moldovan life. It's the best place to taste local products, haggle with vendors, and experience the post-Soviet bazaar culture that persists throughout the region.
