Moldova
Moldova is one of Europe’s least-explored countries — a land of rolling vineyards, rural traditions, and Soviet-era time capsules. From historic monasteries and ancient fortresses to the breakaway regions of Transnistria and Gagauzia, Moldova offers off-the-beaten-path travel at its most authentic.
Adventure Highlights:
- Walk through the rocky canyons and forested hills of Orheiul Vechi, Moldova’s most iconic natural and archaeological site.
- Explore Transnistria, an unrecognized Soviet-style republic with monuments, tanks, and frozen-in-time street scenes.
- Visit the fortress of Tighina (Bender) and stroll along the Dniester River for peaceful nature walks with a historical twist.
Cultural Encounters:
- Experience Moldova’s unique cultural blend — Romanian, Russian, Gagauz, and Ukrainian — especially in villages and border regions.
- Visit Comrat, the capital of Gagauzia, to learn about the Gagauz people, their traditions, and autonomous status.
- Tour historic monasteries like Căpriana and Tipova, and discover Moldova’s deep Orthodox Christian heritage.
Local Life & Flavors:
- Sample local wines in Cricova and Milestii Mici, home to some of the world’s largest underground wine cellars.
- Enjoy home-cooked Moldovan dishes like placinte, mamaliga, and hearty stews in family-run guesthouses.

Step into a frozen-in-time Soviet republic with a visit to Transnistria. Explore Tiraspol’s Lenin statues, war memorials, and tank-lined streets. With its own currency, borders, and identity, this unrecognized region offers a surreal and fascinating experience for curious travelers.

Located just an hour from Chisinau, Orheiul Vechi is Moldova’s most iconic site — a dramatic limestone ridge with cave monasteries, archaeological remains, and sweeping views of the Răut River valley. It’s a must-visit for hikers, history lovers, and photographers.
Chișinău
Chișinău, Moldova’s capital, is a laid-back city with leafy boulevards, farmers markets, and a growing food and wine scene. Visit the National Museum of History, explore Soviet-era architecture, and enjoy the vibrant café culture that makes this one of Eastern Europe’s most underrated capitals.
