Why you should go to Iasi
Located in the north-east of Romania, Iasi was previously the capital of Moldova. It’s famous for its stunning architecture, which can be seen in the design and structure of the city’s many churches, monasteries and theatres. As one of the most important political, economic and cultural cities in the country, as well as being one of the oldest, Iasi prides itself on being the first Romanian city to publish a newspaper, and it is also now home to five universities and a large student population.
With a rich and prominent Jewish influence, you can explore the incredible number of Orthodox synagogues that can be found throughout this beautiful city. During the 19th century, Iasi was the epicentre of Jewish intellectuals, famous for its scholarly rabbis and skilled craftsmen. In fact, the world’s first professional Yiddish-language theatre was opened in Iasi in 1876.
When you’re sightseeing, The Church of the Three Hierarchs is not to be missed. Built circa 1637, the church boasts beautifully ornate decoration. Legend has it that the exterior of the church was previously covered in gold, silver and lapis lazuli, but when the Ottoman Empire attempted to conquer Moldavia, the church was set on fire and the precious metals were melted away.
When it comes to local delicacies, Iasi accommodates vegan and vegetarian eaters very well with plenty of restaurants and fast food places to grab a bite to eat while taking in the sights. For the best burger in town, head to Vivo Fusion Food Bar, or for a more traditional meal, Vivid is a food experience not to be missed.
