Places to visit in Moldova

A natural and historical complex like nowhere else — limestone cliffs, a cave monastery, a traditional village. A UNESCO candidate and one of Moldova’s finest sights.

A medieval fortress built under Ștefan cel Mare, among the best preserved in Moldova. Panoramic views over the Dniester.

An autonomous territorial unit with an Orthodox Turkic population. A culture, a cuisine and traditions unlike anywhere else in Moldova.

Moldova’s second city — the „capital of the north". Architecture, local markets and the genuine feel of a provincial town.

The town on the Dniester, with its medieval fortress, the „Roma Hill" and striking scenery. A place full of contrasts.

The capital of unrecognised Transnistria — a singular travel experience, where a Soviet atmosphere sits intact alongside present-day life.

The capital of Gagauzia — museums, a distinctive cuisine with Turkish threads, and the culture of a people found nowhere else.

Butuceni, Trebujeni, Lalova — villages where time seems to have stopped. Old houses, working smallholdings, genuine hospitality.

Chișinău’s Central Market is the famous one, but every town has its own — the real way to shop here.

The National Art Museum, the Ethnography Museum, the Pushkin House Museum, the Village Museum — culture and history in one place.
