Activities in Moldova

Walking
No one can accuse Chişinău of being overburdened with tourist sights. Lacking in 'must-sees', it's more a pleasant city to wander about in and discover as you go. Sadly, little remains of its historic heart due to heavy bombing during WWII. There are still some great museums and parks, however, and it is fun to see how Communist iconography merges with symbols of Moldovan nationalism.
Begin smack in the centre, where Chişinău's best-known parks oppose each other diagonally, forming two diamonds at the city's core.

Parachuting Club
High-flyers should hike up to the parachuting club, just back from the southeastern side of the lake. Get strapped in and plummet 40m on the parachute jump machine - the views are great from the top, where your stomach is likely to remain.
