What our customers ask about Moldova Tours & Trips
How many days should I spend in Moldova to see the main highlights?
A well-planned 8-9 day trip covers Moldova's essential experiences. This timeframe lets you explore the capital Chișinău with stops at the Historical Museum and Jewish Quarter plus visits to key wineries like Cricova and Purcari. The schedule includes time in the breakaway region of Transnistria and tours of religious landmarks such as Rudi Monastery and the Saharna-Tipova complex. Visitors can base themselves at central locations like the Nobil Luxury Boutique Hotel in Chișinău while taking day trips to the Gagauzia region and historic sites including Soroca and Tighina fortresses. As one TourRadar traveler noted "nine days gave us the perfect amount of time to really understand Moldova's culture and history."
What is the best time of year to visit Moldova?
Each season in Moldova brings distinct travel opportunities. The vineyards burst into bloom during spring (April-May) making it prime time for winery visits at Cricova and Purcari. Fall (September-October) centers around wine harvest celebrations while summer (June-August) offers clear weather for outdoor exploration at places like Orhei Vechi and Soroca Fortress though temperatures can reach 30°C. Snow-covered monasteries create dramatic winter scenes (December-February) but some rural sites have restricted access. Most tours run year-round with stays at seasonal-appropriate hotels like the Radisson Blu Leogrand in Chișinău. One TourRadar traveler shared that "visiting in September allowed us to experience both perfect weather and the excitement of harvest season."
What makes Moldova's wine regions special and which wineries should I visit?
Moldova stands out for its exceptional wine storage facilities notably Milestii Mici which holds the Guinness World Record with over 2 million bottles and Cricova's network of 120km underground tunnels. The Purcari Winery known for supplying the British Royal Court combines vineyard views with premium wine tastings. As one TourRadar traveler noted "The underground wine cities of Cricova and Milestii Mici were absolutely incredible with their endless tunnels and perfect wine storage conditions at a constant 12-14 degrees Celsius."
What unique cultural experiences can I have in Moldova's countryside?
Rural Moldova offers direct connections to local life through homestays in traditional Butuceni village houses visits to the Turkish-Orthodox Gagauz region and meetings with Old Russian Believers in Pocrovca village. Visitors join cooking workshops watch folk performances and stay at properties like Eco-Resort Butuceni. One TourRadar traveler noted "you get to experience genuine Moldovan hospitality and traditions firsthand."
What is special about visiting Transnistria from Moldova?
Transnistria serves as a living museum of Soviet-era culture. This self-declared republic maintains Soviet architecture Lenin monuments and its own currency. Visitors explore Tiraspol the capital known for its communist-era buildings and the KVINT cognac factory plus the historic 16th-century Tighina fortress. TourRadar travelers describe it as "a fascinating glimpse into a place where Soviet values and traditions are still alive and well."
What should I know about accommodation options in Moldova?
Lodging ranges from contemporary hotels in Chisinau such as the Bristol Central Park Hotel to countryside guesthouses like Eco-Resort Butuceni. Several wineries provide on-site rooms while traditional houses welcome guests in Gagauzia. TourRadar travelers note that "the mix of comfortable city hotels and charming rural guesthouses provided an excellent way to experience both modern and traditional Moldova."
