4.7(913)

Ungheni is the border town on the Prut through which many of those entering Moldova from Iași pass. Parcul Central „Micul Cluj” is the most appreciated public place in town — 4.7 out of 5 from more than 900 reviews — and the simplest way to see what daily life looks like here, beyond the border crossing.

What you'll see

A laid-out town park, with paths, vegetation and areas to rest, where the evening walk of Ungheni's residents is concentrated. The name „Micul Cluj" (Little Cluj) refers to the Transylvanian city with which Ungheni has twinning relations — a visible trace of the links across the Prut. It is an urban space, not a wild one: well kept, level and easy to walk. Other sights in the district, among them the Eiffel Bridge over the Prut, round out a day spent here.

Getting there

The park is right in the centre of Ungheni, at the address Parcul Central, so you can walk there from the station area and the centre. Ungheni is roughly 105 km west of Chișinău, in the direction of the Romanian border, reachable both by car and by train. There is wheelchair-accessible parking. See also our transport guide for arrival options.

When to go

The park is open 24 hours a day, every day. It looks best between April and October. Summer evenings are the liveliest stretch — that is when it fills with locals. In winter it stays accessible, but without foliage it loses much of its charm.

Good to know

The entrance and parking are listed as wheelchair accessible.
It suits children; it is easy to cross with a pushchair.
Allow 30–45 minutes for a full walk.
There is a public contact number listed for the park: 0698 57 288.
