Moldova has a moderate continental climate. It has long, warm summers with temperatures at 16 degrees. Winters are mild and dry, with temperatures at -7.

  • Chisinau – Chisinau is the capital of Moldova, as well as the largest city in the country. It is located in central Moldova, along the river Bac. Winters are -7 degrees, and summers around 20 degrees.
  • Balti – Balti is the third largest city in Moldova. Winters are around -5 degrees, and summers are in the teens.

Moldova is a generally safe destination, but there are some items to keep in mind.

Political demonstrations are frequent in Chisinau. Traffic can become congested during these times. Avoid these areas during demonstrations and check the news for current information.

Police can legally ask for your identification on the street. Carry your passport or a photocopy of it at all times. Ask to see the constable’s identity card or metal badge for traffic authority.

Petty crime, such as pick-pocketing and bag-snatching, is common. Travellers should avoid carrying unnecessary valuables with them. Avoid leaving their possessions unattended. All travellers should exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings whilst travelling.

A separatist regime controls the Transnistria Region, making it hard to access. There are many checkpoints leading into and out of this area. Taking photos of them, military facilities, or security forces is illegal.

Moldovo has is known as a country with open doors in the paradise of wine. It is well known for its beautiful, old wineries. Milestii Mici winery holds the Guinness World Record for biggest wine collection. The complex holds 2 million bottles, 70% of which are red, 20% of which are white, and 10% of which are sweets. The most valuable wines are worth $564 USD.

The cellars are over 30 metres below ground in gorgeous natural limestone galleries. It is an underground city with streets named after cabernet, chardonnay and other wines. Visitors need to travel by car to see all the winery and workers often move through the tunnels by bicycle.

If you go on a tour, your guide will tell you the history of Milestii Mici. They will show you rare samples, proper storage techniques, and production guidelines. The tour, of course, ends with a guided wine tasting or delicious lunch. Both occur in beautiful rooms with oak tables and chairs and stone statues. A traditional band of “Lautari” will even perform Moldovan folk songs as you taste your wine.

Moldova is a must visit for European travellers. Just ensure you have everything you need for your trip.

  • Walking Shoes – Moldova is known for its beautiful landscape. Bring comfortable shoes so you can explore it all.
  • Gloves – Your extremities tend to get colder faster. Bring a pair of thick gloves if you plan on spending a lot of time outside in the cold.
  • Translation App – Download an app on your smartphone to translate Romanian and Russian to English. This will help you communicate with locals.

If you are in Moldova and have an emergency (for example, been attacked, arrested or someone has died) contact the nearest consular services. Contact the embassy before arrival if you have additional questions on entry requirements, safety concerns or are in need of assistance.
