Moldova may not be as distinguished as its more popular neighbours Ukraine and Romania, but its anonymity only yields it that much more captivating. While the usual supposition of the location of Moldova is Africa or Asia, it is in fact a beautiful Eastern European country with the unique cosmopolitan city of Chisinau, a tourist dream with many tours and activities and Chisinau Hotels to enjoy!
Mysterious and enchanting, Chisinau is known as one of the greenest cities in Europe! Take a step off the beaten track and explore this fascinating city!
Moldova is a tiny country in Eastern Europe and a large part of the country, as can be seen on the Chisinau Map, lies between the Prut and the Dniester Rivers. While located close to the Black Sea, it is a landlocked country, but still has a temperate climate thanks to its proximity to the sea, which gives it warm summers and mild winters. When visiting Moldova you'll find that most Moldova Hotels are in fact located in Chisinau. The many Chisinau Guest houses and Chisinau Hostels make for an interesting stay in the capital city of Moldova.
Chisinau is the largest city in the country and also its administrative, political, cultural and economic centre. Like most capital cities, Chisinau is the launching pad to explore the rest of the country and enjoy the comfort of Chisnau hotels and discover the highlights of this green city. Most tend to go for one of our Moldovan Wine Tours and especially enjoy Cricova winery tours.
Located at the centre of Moldova by the river Bic, the city of Chisinau is built on seven hills and covers an area of 120 sq. km. Natural beauty is a large part of the city, with twenty three lakes, most of which are located in the city's numerous parks. For your enjoyment, go on one of the Chisinau tours and stay in one of the friendly Chisinau Guest houses!
The city is often referred to as the White City, since many of the old buildings are made of the local white limestone. There are several historical and cultural monuments, lush green landscapes and a kind, generous and hospitable populace, all of which combine to make Chisinau a great place to visit, check out our range of Chisinau hotels! When researching your flights to Moldova you'll have to take one of the Chisinau flights into Chisinau Airport.
The current population of Chisinau is 700,000, but it was much less in earlier times when it was considered more of a village than a city. In the year 1774, the city had only 600 inhabitants, but the population steadily rose until the dissolution of the USSR.
Moldova's official language is Romanian, but is usually called Moldovan. Both Russian and Romanian are widely spoken in the country. Speaking any one of these three languages will ensure that you have no problem conversing with anyone, in Chisinau shops, on the street, or on public transport in Chisinau. Other than Russian and Romanian, English is the most widely spoken foreign language. When visiting Moldova travel, consider staying in one of our Chisinau Apartments. Our Chisinau Apartments can be rented on a weekly or monthly basis in Moldova.
Moldovans relish strong family ties through all of history and place a strong emphasis on the country's culture, traditions, and their love of arts and beauty. The hospitable and friendly nature of Moldovans ensures that foreigners are able to interact with them easily. Just look at our selection of Chisinau hotels! People in Moldova are very happy when visitors make an effort and try to speak their language, just like everywhere else in the world, so take the time to experience this culture by going on some tours in Chisinau.
The entire country of Moldova has beautiful landscapes, but the best time to visit is early autumn. The summer is hot in Moldova, so unless you like the heat, it is best to visit in the autumn when the weather in Chisinau is perfect and numerous varieties of local fruits and vegetables are filling the markets. On the second Sunday of October, Wine Day is celebrated and is one of the good Chisinau Events to present for. Moldova produces its own wine and visiting in autumn will allow you to see the importance of wine production to the country of Moldova. We offer a range of accommodation in Moldova and Chisinau hotels.
