A terrific 'runseeing' tour of Chișinău, featuring the main sites in the historic center, and several of the city's notable parks: Cathedral Park, St. Stephen Park, a lake loop around Morilor Park, & Dendrariu Park. There are shorter & longer options. Fairly hilly!
This large park in the southern part of Chișinău is a great spot for a run. There are 8-9 km of non-overlapping rolling hill paths, combination of open & wooded landscape, and three small lakes. There are 500 species of shrubs and flora, and roses in season!
