See

There is a nice old fortification overlooking the river. The downtown is pleasant to walk through. You'll notice a fortified Russian checkpoint on the bridge leading across the Dniestr - these are the local peacekeeping forces. Nearby is a monument to the "independence" conflict. The bus terminal is a nice example of Soviet bus terminal design - check out the mosaics!
