Bus
From the center of Tiraspol, head to the main bus station located near the Tighina Bridge (Podul Tighina). Take bus number 19 or 29 heading towards Chitcani. The journey should take about 30 minutes. Get off at the stop named 'Monastery' (you can ask the driver or fellow passengers to confirm). From the bus stop, walk about 200 meters towards the east along the main road until you see the entrance to Noul Neamt Monastery on your right.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from anywhere in Tiraspol. Just tell the driver 'Noul Neamt Monastery in Chitcani'. The ride will take approximately 20 minutes depending on traffic. Make sure to agree on the fare before starting the journey, as taxis may not always use meters.
Walking
If you are near the east side of Tiraspol, you can choose to walk to the monastery, although it is a longer journey. Head east towards the main road leading out of Tiraspol. Continue straight along the road for about 6 kilometers. You will pass some fields and local houses. Once you reach the Chitcani area, look for signs indicating the direction to Noul Neamt Monastery.
