Iași strings its Christmas festivities along a handsome spine of historic streets: Ștefan cel Mare Boulevard, Lăpușneanu Street and lively Piața Unirii.
Wooden cabins sell regional delicacies and handmade gifts, while light installations and children’s rides punctuate the route. The cathedral square and Union Square make particularly atmospheric stops at sunset, when the lights shimmer off the grand façades. With hotels, cafés and museums dotted all around, it’s easy to dip in and out over a couple of days. The market is well‑placed for tram connections and the railway station, making it a straightforward addition to a wider Moldavian itinerary taking in monasteries and vineyards.
