Otovasca View
Chișinău's most panoramic viewpoint · sunset terrace with telescope and 360° city views
Free observation terrace with a public telescope and a 360° view of the capital — ideal for sunset and urban photography
Worth it for sunset — a free observation terrace with a telescope and a wide panorama over Chișinău.
Otovasca View is an open-air observation deck perched on a hillside in the northern part of Chișinău, offering sweeping 360° panoramas of the capital. Perfect for sunset watching, it features wooden benches, a free telescope for magnified cityscapes, and a quiet, relaxed vibe. Adjacent to the terrace are a children's playground and an outdoor gym, making it a popular gathering spot for couples, photographers, and families. Open 24/7 and free of charge, it's especially loved in the evenings when the city lights begin to twinkle below. May through September is ideal, when the weather invites picnics or coffee from nearby kiosks. A must-visit for tourists seeking a postcard-worthy perspective of Chișinău without the price tag.
