Transnistria is already one of Europe's most unusual destinations, but even many visitors never discover one of its best-kept secrets: a remarkable collection of Soviet mosaics hidden across towns and villages rarely visited by foreign travelers.
This is the only tour that brings them together in a single experience. Departing from Chisinau, you'll travel across Transnistria in search of more than 13 Soviet mosaics and 4 monumental bas-reliefs located in Bender, Ghisca, Tiraspol and Sucleia.
