📣 Hinweise für Reisende

Moldova is a small, landlocked European destination situated between Romania and Ukraine. Known for its wines and monasteries, it attracts adventurous travelers. Tours are available from the capital, Chișinău.

• The political discourse is often polarizing, with camps favoring ties to the EU, Russia, or neutrality.
• Avoid discussing the unification of Romania and Moldova or the Transnistria conflict due to their highly sensitive nature.
• Be aware of differing local sentiments regarding Moldova's relationship with Russia.
• Discussion of EU membership is sensitive, especially in pro-Russian regions like Gagauzia and Transnistria.
• Identity and language can be sensitive topics; ask individuals how they identify only if they are comfortable discussing it.
• Locals may view tourists with curiosity, not hostility. If approached by potential scammers, it is advisable to ignore them or firmly decline their services. Chivalry is common, and women are highly respected. In rural areas, women are advised to refrain from smoking or consuming alcohol.
