Why visit Moldova
Well why not? It’s a chance to visit a European country sitting well outside the usual tourist routes. Chișinău is a genuinely fascinating city break. It’s a walkable city, nice parks, Moldova is known for its wine and winery culture, good food and welcomes visitors. It’s a former Soviet republic, where, in places, things haven’t changed much there’s long-distance sleeper trains and from Chișinău it’s straightforward to visit to Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic PMR, also known as Transnistria aka ‘the country that doesn’t exist‘ There are so many beautiful churches and monasteries all over Moldova. I can highly recommend a visit to the cave monastery and archaeological complex at Old Orhei.
