Moldova

Adventure Holidays in Moldova

Moldova is one of Europe's least visited countries. Sandwiched between Ukraine and Romania, this overlooked gem has always been caught in the middle of an East/West game of tug of war.

Holidays to Moldova should include the capital Chișinău, a city that has struggled to shrug off its Soviet past. In the end this becomes part of its charm, and its architecture is surprisingly evocative for a city razed to the ground by the Second World War and a devastating earthquake. Other areas are proud of their Soviet roots: ‘independent’ Transnistria is stridently distinct, and the best Moldova tours take in a bit of both! The countryside is lovely, boasting historic monasteries and one of the world’s largest wineries, meaning holidays here offer the perfect blend of rural and cosmopolitan experiences.
