Tourist Attractions in Moldova

Nestled between Romania and Ukraine, Moldova reveals a surprising richness for curious travelers. Its rolling hills, sunlit vineyards, and unhurried towns invite slow exploration, from the capital Chișinău with its Soviet-era avenues to bustling markets and lively eateries serving sweet corn cob soup and placintele. Above all, Moldova is a wine lover’s paradise: drive to Cricova and Milestii Mici to wander vast underground cellars carved into limestone, where bottle after bottle rests in cool darkness. Outside the cellars, Orheiul Vechi offers cliffside monasteries, ancient cave settlements and a pristine countryside ideal for hiking, biking and picnicking along the Dniester river.
