European culture: A classical theater in Pridnestrovie

Come in summer and enjoy our national theater. The height of cultural life in Pridnestrovie is the country's Drama Theater. Based in Pridnestrovie, this theater troupe travels abroad several times a year to perform internationally. Pridnestrovie's theater hosts annual plays by Shakespeare and others.

All over the country are houses of culture, theaters and classic European concert halls. All told, we have a more than 200 community centers dotted in every city, town and village in Pridnestrovie. And there's always some kind of activity going on, usually by locals for locals and on a volunteer/amateur basis. Folk music and folk dancers in traditional custome are a common feature in Pridnestrovie, so bring your camera.

Coming in October? Don't miss the "Fest". Due to ethnic old-German influences and our heritage as a former part of Poland and Lithuania, there are traditional bier-gartens in Pridnestrovie as well.

The cultural life of Pridnestrovie is supported by state funding. Moldova has long given ago given up on Pridnestrovie, so today it is the government of the PMR which supports the children's theater, the libraries, the dancers and folk music bands, the singers, and the travelling troubadors. In 2005 the government paid for the liberal arts training of 5,500 children in the fields of music, art, dance, and choreography.

Upon independence in 1990, Pridnestrovie created its ministry of environmental protection and launched an urgent ecology program for the Dniester River. As a result, Pridnestrovie is today a clean and well protected "green" country.
Eighty percent of the territory of the republic is designated as either therapeutic-recreational-tourist zones or rest-therapeutic-recreational zones. In the northern part of Pridnestrovie you will find natural and medicinal springs. Here, a couple of health resorts are built which you are more than welcome to visit.

The capital, Tiraspol, has several amazing parks. Visitors to Kamenka and Slobozya should seek out the unique nature monuments. The rest of Pridnestrovie's territory holds important archaelogical digs, caves and historical, architectural monuments.

All towns and cities have hotels and restaurants. In the countryside, some of the villages have small bed and breakfast operations. Private farms, especially in the north, also open their doors to tourists and genereously offer private holiday stays in farm homes. In these farms, foreigners usually pay just $10 USD per night for full room and board, all drinks included.

Modern, independent Pridnestrovie is an open country which welcomes tourists from everywhere. We have no visa restrictions or entry restrictions, and our own national currency - the PMR ruble [0] - is freely convertible.
Come and visit, and see for yourself how clean, organized and modern Pridnestrovie is today.
