Iasi is located in northeastern Romania on the banks of the Bahlui River and is a lively university city close the border with Moldova. The biggest city in the province of Moldavia, Iasi is sometimes called “the city of the hundred churches.” The presence of a large number of students gives the city a cultured, intellectual vibe – modern bars and cafes are bursting with chatter and life. The city center is dominated by the huge St. Paraschiva Metropolitan Cathedral, a large 19th-century Renaissance Orthodox church. Nearby is the Three Hierarchs Monastery, decorated with delicate Moorish stone carvings. Behind it are the beautifully landscaped Palas Park’s gardens, with the Palace of Culture located in the well-preserved neo-Gothic building. Map
