Chișinău, the green capital of the Republic of Moldova, is often overlooked – unjustly so. The city offers an exciting mix of Soviet past, Romanian culture and Eastern European charm.

When it comes to food, you should definitely try Mămăligă (polenta with cheese and cream), Zeamă (a sour soup) and Plăcinte (filled pastries). The wine bar Carpe Diem and the restaurant La Plăcinte are real insider tips. The Cricova and Milestii Mici wine cellars are also worth a trip – the latter holds the record as the largest wine collection in the world.

Best time to travel & practical tips

Your trip falls in winter (late January to early February). In Chișinău, temperatures around freezing are usual then, with snow and icy wind. So pack warm clothing: winter jacket, hat, gloves and sturdy shoes are a must. The city is often snowy and romantic then – but also slippery.

Once there, the best way to get around is by Marshrutka (shared taxis) or bus. Taxis are cheap, but use official apps like Yandex Go. The best way to explore the city centre is on foot – many sights are close together.

You can save money by eating at the cheap cafés at lunchtime (menu of the week) and cooking for yourself in the evening. Many museums have a free-entry day – ask at your hotel. Buying a multi-ride ticket for buses is also worth it.
