Tiraspol

城市概覽

Tyras (Τύρας) is said to have been founded about 600 BC, as a colony of the Greek city Miletus, some 10 km from the mouth of the Tiras River (Dniester). It was refounded in 1792 by Field Marshal Alexander Suvorov on behest of empress Catherine the Great, as a border fortress on conquered land from the Ottoman Empire. The city's central square features the equestrian statue of Suvorov. Tiraspol was the capital of the Moldavian ASSR from 1929 until 1940. Tiraspol is landlocked, and largely closed off from the outside world, due to a lack of transcontinental infrastructure. There is neither an airport nor a seaport in Transnistria. The nearest international airport is in neighbouring Moldova. The present city has relatively modern infrastructure. The state-run bus service is a simple, fairly accessible method of transportation operating at peak hours during the day, made up of trolleybuses and maxi taxis (the latter cost 3.95 rubles), you pay on board. Night-time operations were halted due to an increase in criminal drug trafficking, which became rampant on the bus system during the mid-1990s. Subsequent reforms by ex-President Smirnov and other officials enabled the bus system to remain open for at least the better part of the day, restoring a much needed public service to the Transnistrian population. The local sewer system and electrical grid are state-of-the-art, adapted from models based in western Europe. The Transnistrian basic infrastructure was built in the mid-1990s with the profits gained after the war of independence in 1992.

如何抵達

By bus There are bus and maxi-taxi services from Chișinău every 30 min through most of the day. They leave from the northeast corner of the Chișinău Autogara (at Tighins St.). Buy your ticket at the Cada de Peron window on the platform, not inside the station. (2 hr 20 min, 57.00 Moldovan lei in July 2024). There are also regular services from Bendery, Odesa and other Ukrainian and Moldovan cities. The main bus/train station is about 1 km from the city centre and has clearly posted schedules. The Tiraspol bus/train station does not have a luggage depot. There is a bank/exchange office, which is closed on Sunday. And no, you cannot pay for the toilet in the station with Moldovan lei.

You will mostly be happy to get around on foot.

By bus Easyway journey planner helps to find routes and schedules. Tiraspol has an efficient trolleybus system, which is shared with the nearby city Bender. Trolleybus no. 19 connects the two towns. They run at an interval of 15-20 minutes from 05:30 until 21:00, and cost 2.8 Transnistrian Rubles. Tickets are sold on the bus by a conductor. Most bus stops are clearly recognisable and indicate the buses that stop there, along with their interval (how many minutes between two buses) and their operating hours. Many of the trolleybuses are from the 1960s or 1970s Soviet era but are kept in perfectly working order, with a fresh coat of paint on the outside, and surprisingly comfortable spring-loaded leather benches on the inside. Some new partially low-floor trolleybuses are also gradually being introduced to the system. Besides trolleybuses, there are also marshrutkas (minivans) which have less comfort but are more frequent and go everywhere in the city the trolleybuses don't reach. Marshrutka no. 20 between Tiraspol and Bender plies the same route as the trolleybus, if you want to trade comfort for speed.

必看景點

You might enjoy a visit to the main street with its parliamentary building boasting a relatively new Lenin statue. Opposite, a T-34 tank from the Great Patriotic War era forms part of a monument which also contains soil from the pivotal battle of Stalingrad. You can see most of what there is to see in Tiraspol by walking along 25 October, the main street. There are several nice parks in the city, including the Culture Park near the university. This has abundant trees and a mixture of abandoned and enthusiastically used amusement park rides, and is a good place for people-watching. Most of the big monuments are at the south end of the city, about 2 km from the Palace of Soviets. It is also worth taking a small detour off the Main Street and going down to the Dniester river, where locals tend to gather in the summer.
