Moldova has an interesting history and a rich cultural heritage to discover. From the self-proclaimed Transnistria Republic in the east to the capital of Chişinău in the centre. Tour a winery and visit a 13th century monastery!
Moldavian wines: Moldova is famous for its full-bodied wines and tourists from around the area flock to the wineries to taste the new vintages. Wines are also quite affordable compared to other countries. Try Milestii Mici, said to have the biggest wine collection in the world.
Orhelul Vechi: One of Moldova’s most popular sights is this 13th century cave monastery. It’s only a 30-minute drive with a Moldova car hire from Chisinau. Opening hours vary so best to call ahead before making the trip.
Kayaking: Take a trip down the Nistru River by kayak to really experience the Moldova landscape and countryside. Stop along the way at any of the natural beaches and islands for a rest.

Hotels in Chisinau are surprisingly expensive for this part of Europe. Youth and backpackers hostels are only just making their way into Moldova but you will find several international hotels in and out of the capital like Best Western. If you’re staying for a longer holiday, a self-catering apartment could be a good option.
