Where to stay in Buiucani
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
A room in Buiucani puts the National Museum of Fine Arts and the Transfiguration Church on the same side of the capital, which is the practical case for choosing this sector over the others. It is the wealthiest of the five. Durleşti, Vatra, Ghidighici and Truşeni fall under the same pretor but sit outside the built-up city, so a stay in one of them trades the museums for a separate town.

About Buiucani
What are the main landmarks in Buiucani?
Art first. The National Museum of Fine Arts is the sector's largest draw, with the Muzeul RTEC a smaller and more specialised counterpart on the same register. Churches follow.
The Transfiguration Church of Chișinău and the Saint Nicholas church stand among memorials that include the Victims of Chișinău Pogrom Monument, the Monument to Ion Creangă at the Pedagogical State University and the memorial stele to Toma Ciorbă.
What is the history of Buiucani?
Buiucani's beginnings are not in the file. The sector answers for a portion of Chișinău along with the towns of Durleşti and Vatra and the communes of Condriţa, Ghidighici and Truşeni, an arrangement run by a pretor the city appoints. Moldovans predominate.
Its memorials keep older events in view: the Victims of Chișinău Pogrom Monument, the stele to Toma Ciorbă and the Monument to Ion Creangă at the Pedagogical State University.
Where is Buiucani?
Buiucani spreads from its part of Chișinău out to Durleşti, Vatra, Condriţa, Ghidighici and Truşeni.
