Unic

Unic shopping centre fills a historic building at 8 Ștefan cel Mare și Sfînt Boulevard, right in the centre of Chișinău, and is one of the city’s best-known meeting points. Its several levels hold clothing and footwear shops, including collections by Moldovan designers, along with accessories, jewellery, cosmetics and everyday goods, plus a food area.

Visitors rate it positively, mentioning the wide choice of clothes under one roof, the central location and the chance to grab a bite between shops. Some complaints come up again and again, though: parking is tight, toilets are hard to find, the parent-and-baby room is poorly equipped, and some shoppers say most goods are unbranded Turkish or Chinese products.

Each shop keeps its own hours and terms; the centre’s contact details are on this page.
