Come to Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublica in summer and enjoy the country's national theater. The height of cultural life in Pridnestrovie is the young nation's Drama Theater.

Government supports the arts
The cultural life of Pridnestrovie is supported by state funding. Moldova has long given ago given up on Pridnestrovie, so today it is the government of the PMR which supports the children's theater, the libraries, the dancers and folk music bands, the singers, and the travelling troubadors. In 2005 the government paid for the liberal arts training of 5,500 children in the fields of music, art, dance, and choreography.
All towns and cities have hotels and restaurants. In the countryside, some of the villages have small bed and breakfast operations. Private farms, especially in the north, also open their doors to tourists and genereously offer private holiday stays in farm homes. In these farms, foreigners usually pay just $10 USD per night for full room and board, all drinks included.
