Why people like Moldova
Moldova sits in Eastern Europe between Romania and Ukraine. It is a small, green country of vineyards, villages and walkable cities, with a slow and welcoming pace of life. Its capital, Chișinău, is the country's administrative and cultural centre.
A leafy, easygoing capital
Chișinău is a relaxed capital of wide, tree-lined boulevards, parks and sidewalk cafés. Everyday costs are modest compared with most of Europe, and the city centre is small enough to learn in a week.
A countryside built around the vine
Vineyards cover much of the Moldovan landscape, and wine belongs to everyday hospitality — a glass is poured before most conversations begin. Long cellars carved into the hills are a national point of pride.
Canyons, monasteries & open skies
Limestone valleys such as Old Orhei hold monasteries set into the cliffs, above quiet rivers and grassy ridges. The countryside is close enough to reach on a short trip from the city.
