Frequently asked questions
About Moldova
Moldova is a small landlocked country in Eastern Europe known for its vineyards and wine production. The official language is Romanian and the currency used is the Moldovan Leu. The country has a rich cultural heritage with influences from both Romanian and Russian traditions. Visitors can explore the capital city of Chisinau, visit the historic Orheiul Vechi monastery complex, and enjoy the scenic countryside dotted with charming villages. Moldova is also home to the largest wine cellar in the world, Milestii Mici, which is a must-visit for wine enthusiasts.
When to visit
The best time to visit Moldova is during the spring and autumn months, from April to June and September to October, when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summer can be hot with temperatures reaching up to 30°C, while winter can be cold and snowy. The grape harvest season in September is a popular time to visit for wine lovers, as many vineyards hold festivals and events to celebrate the harvest.
Getting around
Getting around Moldova is relatively easy with a network of buses, minibuses, and taxis connecting major cities and towns. Renting a car is also a convenient option for exploring the countryside and visiting remote wineries. The capital city of Chisinau has a well-developed public transportation system, including buses and trolleybuses, making it easy to navigate the city.
Traveller tips
It is recommended to try the local Moldovan wines, as the country is famous for its wine production. Be sure to carry cash as credit cards are not widely accepted, especially in rural areas. English is not widely spoken, so it is helpful to learn a few basic phrases in Romanian. Tipping is appreciated in restaurants and for taxi drivers, with 10% being a common practice. Be cautious of pickpockets in crowded tourist areas and keep your belongings secure.
