Multi-day Trips in Moldova

Explore the hidden gem of Eastern Europe with a multi-day trip through Moldova! This small yet vibrant country offers a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural beauty. Here are some tips to help you plan your journey:

Duration

For a comprehensive experience, we recommend spending at least 5 days in Moldova. This allows enough time to visit the capital Chișinău, explore historical towns, taste local wines, and enjoy the tranquil countryside.

Chișinău (Day 1-2)

Start your journey in the bustling capital city of Chișinău. Visit the National Museum of History of Moldova to understand the country’s rich past. Don’t miss the Nativity Cathedral and the Monument of Stephen the Great, symbolizing Moldova’s proud history.

Wine Regions (Day 3)

Moldova is famous for its wine, so a visit to one or more of its vineyards is a must. Milestii Mici and Cricova are two of the largest wine cellars in the world, offering guided tours and tastings. Remember to buy some Moldovan wine as a souvenir!

Historical Towns (Day 4-5)

Journey to the ancient towns of Orheiul Vechi, Soroca, and Căpriana. These towns showcase unique architecture, including the fortified town of Soroca with its distinctive red brick towers. Orheiul Vechi, a historical complex built on multiple layers, provides a glimpse into Moldova’s past civilizations.

Countryside (Day 5)

Spend your final day relaxing in Moldova’s beautiful countryside. Visit Codru Forest, the largest forest in Moldova, or take a leisurely walk along the Dniester River. Don’t forget to try some traditional Moldovan cuisine such as mămăligă (cornmeal porridge) and sarmale (cabbage rolls).

Tips

• Moldova uses the Moldovan leu (MDL) as its official currency. Exchange rates are generally favorable for tourists, making it an affordable travel destination.
• The weather can be unpredictable, so pack layers and comfortable walking shoes.
• English is not widely spoken outside of Chișinău, so learning a few basic phrases in Romanian or Russian will be helpful.

Enjoy your trip to Moldova! This undiscovered gem is waiting to captivate you with its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
