Gemeni

Gemeni, at 136 Ștefan cel Mare și Sfînt Boulevard in the city centre, is one of Chișinău’s oldest shopping centres. It works like an indoor bazaar of small boutiques spread over several floors: clothes and shoes, bags, cosmetics, jewellery and watches, souvenirs, tea and coffee, plus things newer malls rarely stock — fabrics, curtains and embroidery. The façade was recently renovated.

Shoppers rate it positively, praising affordable prices, a huge mix of goods and a neater look since the renovation. Criticism is mostly about the interior and service: rude sellers in some boutiques, a roof that leaks when it rains, and poor toilets. Much depends on the individual shop, so it pays to compare a few.

Address and management phone are in the listing.
