Why it’s worth visiting

Worth a short stop if you get to Bender: one visitor calls it one of the points you have to see. Take your passport, it is across the Nistru.

The story

Memorial in Tighina, at Bender, raised in memory of the 1992 armed conflict. What the reviews describe is more concrete than you might expect: an armoured fighting vehicle stands on the plinth, which two visitors say is the best-preserved example of its kind in all of Transnistria, and a flame burns in front of it. One visitor notes that you cannot climb inside, but that it is worth photographing. The whole ensemble is described as very well kept, and one visitor calls it one of the points you have to see in Bender. It can be visited at any time, it is outdoors and free.

  • “Tiraspol Bridge is a key landmark in Tiraspol, spanning the Dniester River and connecting various parts of the city. Built during the Soviet era, it showcases the architectural style of that period. The bridge is crucial for local and regional traffic, offering scenic views of the river and the surrounding landscape. It’s well-maintained, ensuring safety and functionality. Whet…”
