Who it's for

Pilgrims in Iasi for Saint Parascheva, Orthodox and Catholic believers, and visitors drawn to church architecture can visit eleven historic churches and monasteries, from the Metropolitan Cathedral to Biserica Banu, with a story and puzzle at each. Families with school-age children can go at their own pace. If nearly 6 km and about three hours on foot is too much, or you want a guide to answer questions, pick a shorter outing.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a pilgrims' walking route through the churches of Iasi?
Yes. This self-guided walk links eleven historic churches and monasteries. It starts at the Metropolitan Cathedral, where many pilgrims come for Saint Parascheva, and ends at Biserica Banu. Your phone leads you from stop to stop, tells the story of each place and sets a puzzle. It is free to play.
Which churches and monasteries does the route visit?
In walking order: Catedrala Mitropolitană, Catedrala „Sfânta Fecioară Maria Regină”, Mănăstirea Sfinții Trei Ierarhi, Biserica Sfântul Nicolae Domnesc, Biserica Barnovschi, Biserica Sfântul Sava, Biserica Armeană, Biserica Bărboi, Mănăstirea Golia, Biserica Sfântul Spiridon and Biserica Banu. The two monasteries are Trei Ierarhi and Golia.
How long does it take and where does it start and finish?
Most players take about three hours, walking and puzzles included, over 5.9 km. You start at the Metropolitan Cathedral and finish at Biserica Banu, so it does not end where it began. You can pause at any point, for a visit inside a church or a break, and continue later.
Is it suitable for children?
It is family friendly, with puzzles based on what you see at each church. It suits school-age children who can manage nearly 6 km and about three hours on foot. Younger children may find the distance long, so plan breaks, which the app allows since you can pause and continue later.
Do we need to book a time, and what should we bring?
No booking is needed: it is free to play and you can start whenever you like, though playing at night is not recommended. Dress respectfully, as the route visits places of worship, and bring a fully charged phone or a power bank, since the app guides the whole walk.
