Chisinau Train Station (Gara Feroviara Chi?inau) is the main railway hub in the capital of Moldova. The station has a mix of Soviet-era and modern architectural influences, with a large, functional building that serves as a transportation center. The exterior of the station is relatively simple, with a large rectangular structure and classic, symmetrical design. The main entrance features a wide set of stairs leading to the ticket hall, and the station's facade is adorned with large windows that allow natural light to flood the interior.

Inside, the station has a spacious waiting area with a few retail shops, snack bars, and basic amenities like restrooms. The platforms are accessible via escalators or stairs, and the station connects to various local and international destinations, including routes to Romania and Ukraine. The atmosphere can be a bit busy, especially during peak hours, with travelers coming and going, but the station generally retains a calm, no-frills ambiance. Despite the modern touches, it still maintains a bit of the old-world charm of Soviet-era train stations.

The train station also serves as a significant transportation hub, linking the city to other parts of Moldova and neighboring countries. The surrounding area is a mix of residential buildings and busy streets, with plenty of taxis and buses available for further travel.
