10 Things to do in Iasi That You Shouldn't Miss
The large city of Iasi has been a cultural and political hub since the 15th century. Everything orbits the Golden Plateau, bookended by the Palace of Culture and Union Square, and packed to the brim with churches and palaces galore. Iasi has significant Jewish history. The first Yiddish-language newspaper was published here, and the 17th-century Great Synagogue is the oldest surviving synagogue in Romania.

The National Theatre is a beautiful building and a place with vibrant cultural energy! The building itself is in a really good condition and the institution has decent performances. The National Opera of Iasi also holds here its performances. There is also a visitor's ticket available for those who only want to have a tour of the Theatre without seeing a performance. Definitely a "must-see" for a first-timer in Iasi!

Reviewed By TERRAvelista - London, United Kingdom
After visiting the Palace with the mall, St Nicholas church and Dosoftei house, then another church, we decided to make a stop here. The Cathedral is very big and housed on well maintained grounds and there were lots of people on the Thursday we visited it. Inside you can relax in the cool interior and pay your respects or simply watch the groups queuing to their patron saint laid here for everyone to see. People are very nice and friendly and greatful even for helping them with the many steps.

5. Golia Monastery
Overall Ratings

The tower of Golia is 30 m height. The visitors who want to have a panorama view of the city have to climb 130 stairs. The tower is one of the city's symbols.

If you want to get away from the city noise (being in the city nevertheless), and have a relaxing walk in the fresh air, this is the place in Iasi. Depending on the season, different type of flowers expositions are arranged, but in any case the big teritory with trees makes you feel like it's outside the city. It's also educational.
