Transportation
- Public Transport:
Public transport in Chișinău, such as buses, has limited accessibility features. Wheelchair users may find it challenging to navigate the older vehicles as ramps and low-floor buses are not widely available. - Private Transport:
Private taxis and taxi apps like Bolt and Yandex Go are a more convenient option for travellers with disabilities.
Tourist Attractions
- Accessibility at Sites:
While Chișinău’s modern attractions, like shopping malls and larger cultural venues, are designed with accessibility in mind, historical sites and older buildings may lack ramps or elevators. - Popular Destinations:
Landmarks such as the National Museum of History and Cathedral Park are partially accessible, but uneven pathways and cobblestones might pose challenges. For smoother experiences, focus on newer attractions and parks designed for inclusivity.
