Moldova travel guide

Moldova, in the far east of Europe, is home to fine wine, ancient monasteries and a rather curious breakaway republic

Tiny land-locked Moldova is gloriously untouristy. Fields of nodding sunflowers and friendly people greet you as you arrive in Moldova: one of Europe’s least-known and poorest countries.

Tree-lined Chisinau is one of Eastern Europe’s wildest party capitals where you’ll never be far from a glass of excellent Moldovan wine. East of Chisinau is the self-declared republic of Transdniestr, a flashback to Soviet-style communism, which has its own currency, police force, army and independence day.

Wanderlust recommends

  1. Take a day trip to the breakaway region of Transdniesdtr (if they'll let you in...)
  2. Visit the cave monasteries at Orheiul Vechi, and make friends with the resident monks.
  3. Gulp down refreshing dry white sauvignons and full-bodied reds at Cricova’s underground wine cellars.
  4. People-watch from the cool cafes of capital Chisinau.

Wanderlust tips

Few Moldovans speak English so a few words of Romanian or Russian will go a long way.

Credit cards aren’t accepted everywhere but many places will accept US dollars, especially in the breakaway Transdniestran republic.
