Tiraspol by district
Tiraspol is small and laid out on a grid. 25 Oktyabrya Street, the main street, runs through the centre past the House of Soviets and the government area. The central market and Lenin Street sit to the west, the Memorial of Glory and Suvorov Square to the south-west, and the Dniester embankment forms the river edge on the west.
About these names
Street names are in Russian and Romanian; the main ones (25 Oktyabrya, Lenin, Sverdlov, Kirov) are visible on signs. Give a driver the street and a landmark, and keep the hotel address on paper.
