Moldova Tourism
Known for its wine-making and charming capital, Moldova sits north of the Balkans between Romania and Ukraine. What it lacks in architectural prowess, it makes up for with plenty of green spaces and peaceful spots. The capital Chişinău is by far the country’s biggest draw, offering cultural landmarks like the Museum of Archeology and Ethnography, the Museum of Natural History, and the National Museum of Fine Arts. You’ll also fine many bars across the city which serve famous Moldovan wines. Outside of the capital, you can hike and bike through the scenic hills of the rolling countryside. There are also several caves to explore, as well as a number of vineyards, monasteries and nature reserves. The majority of accommodation is found in Chişinău, with a wide selection of apartments and hotels. Hostels and guests houses are far less common but you’ll still find a few scattered around town.
There are approximately 500 hotels in Moldova, ranging from budget-friendly options to luxurious resorts. The average price of a hotel room in Moldova is around 70 MDL (approximately 3.50 USD) for a basic room, and up to 200 MDL (approximately 10 USD) for a more comfortable room.
Moldova has several domestic airlines, including Air Moldova, which operates flights to several cities within the country. However, the majority of international visitors to Moldova arrive by air through the country’s main international airport, Chisinau International Airport, which is located near the capital city of Chisinau.
