In a city with few malls, Malldova is definitely the best of its kind. Malldova is a multistorey shopping mall, modern, comfortable, and brand-new. Many shops to choose from and representing those purveyors you would see in the rest of the world, as well as a few boutique businesses. On the top level, there are several restaurants to choose from to eat in, whilst having a few coffee shops dotted around the levels. It has 6 cinema rooms, bowling, billiard, electronic games, some fun places for kids, etc. It`s the only place in MD you can find a KFC. Please do not expect to see any cheap prices here, they are all retail and comparable to what you’d pay for items in your own country. A nice place to go if you have a few hours to spare.

Moldova is one of the last places in Europe that has not been restricted by legislation to control its fruits and vegetables production like the EU countries have. The food in Moldova tastes amazing, is all-natural and the Central Market, also called the bazaar, is the best place to find it. Central Market is many things altogether: a central bus station, a hyperactive living network of streets full of stores, shops of all kinds, but also a market place in which, every day, farmers come from the countryside to sell their products, directly to us and absolutely fresh. If you have a few hours to spend, it is a lot of fun to walk around enjoying the atmosphere of the kind of bustling marketplace that is slowly disappearing in many parts of the world.
