💡 Tips
- Always carry your passport with you, especially near the river, as this is a strictly controlled border zone with Moldova.
- Explore the town primarily on foot, as many of the smaller side streets can be quite uneven or unpaved.
- Visit the local ferry crossing area on the Dniester River to observe the traditional, slow-paced border crossing.
- Bring enough cash (Hryvnia) in advance, as card payments are not always accepted in smaller local shops and open-air markets.
🍽 Food
Try fresh, locally caught river fish, usually served rustically fried at small local eateries along the water.
Warm up with a comforting bowl of this classic beetroot soup served with garlic buns at a traditional cafe.
Enjoy these classic boiled dumplings, filled either savory with local potatoes or sweet with sour cherries.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Buy fresh, completely natural produce straight from the farmers' stalls at the main town market.
Look for traditionally embroidered textiles or small handmade wooden souvenirs while browsing the local market.
A quiet walk along the river has beautiful, serene views of the landscape and the Moldovan shore directly across the water.
Take a short hike up the white limestone hills surrounding the town for a great vantage point over the entire river valley.
