Transnistria is one of the most intriguing destinations for tourists visiting Moldova. This region, not recognized as an independent state yet possessing all the attributes of one, attracts visitors with its well-preserved traces of the Soviet era, which coexist — sometimes unexpectedly — with monuments from the Ottoman and Russian Empires, as well as with cultural symbols and memes of the present day.
