Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, is a large industrial city located along the river Bâc. Chisinau International Airport opens its doors to passengers who want to visit Chisinau, Moldova's most developed and populated city. Chisinau is divided into two main regions, the old part of the city and the new part of the city, which is considered the city center. Stefan cel Mare Street and Stefan cel Mare Park make up the city center. The Chisinau railway station is located in the city center and is the only train station in the city. Despite the presence of railways, urban rail transportation is not provided in the city. Buses are not a very popular method of transportation within the city either.

Trolleybuses and minibuses called "rutiera" are very important methods of public transportation in the city. You need to buy tickets to travel on public transportation vehicles in the city. Once on board you must show your ticket to the ticket collector. You can purchase a single-use ticket or monthly tickets. Monthly tickets are a better option for those who are planning on a longer stay in the city.

Traveling by taxi or rental car are other convenient alternatives in addition to public transportation. You can get to the airport from the city center via private airport shuttles or minibuses.

Shuttle

Chisinau International Airport's own private shuttle provides transportation from the city center to the airport.

Ticket prices are quite affordable but if you have a large suitcase you might have to pay an extra fee. Usually there is an assistant sitting next to the driver. If there is an assistant in the vehicle, and the vehicle does not have an automatic door system, the minibus doors are opened by that assistant.

There aren’t that many designated minibus stops but drivers will usually stop wherever you want to get off. However, according to new legislation issued recently, the driver is technically only allowed to let you off at designated minibus stops.
