SkyUp Airlines is set to expand its flight network this spring with the introduction of a new direct route connecting Nice to Moldova’s alluring capital city, Chisinau. The service will commence in May, with two weekly flights operating on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, may be relatively unknown, but it is emerging as a top Eastern European travel destination. Known for its lush green parks, unique wine cellars, and rich cultural heritage, this hidden gem of a city will be accessible from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport via direct SkyUp flights from 21st May.
Chisinau’s charms
The city hosts numerous events and festivals throughout the year, providing visitors with plenty of opportunities to immerse themselves in its vibrant culture. Some of the most notable annual events include the Martisor Festival in March, the BITEI Festival and Cronograf Film Festival in May, the Sun Da I Fest in June, Summer Fest in August, and the National Wine Day in October.
Tourists visiting Chisinau can explore its many attractions, including Ștefan cel Mare Park, a popular meeting spot also known as Pushkin Park or Lovers Park. Albisoara Street features historic buildings and scenic parks, while nature enthusiasts can visit the Chisinau Botanical Garden, a vast 76-hectare space filled with a diverse collection of flora.
Wine lovers can take a trip to the renowned Mileștii Mici vineyard, located just 20 kilometres from the city centre, to enjoy tastings and tours of one of the largest wine cellars in the world. Literature and history buffs can explore the house museum of Alexander Pushkin, where the famous Russian poet and writer lived during his exile in Chisinau.
To celebrate the launch of this new route, SkyUp is offering a special promotion with tickets starting at just €15. This exclusive offer will continue until the limited number of tickets is sold, or until 25th October.
