📣 Traveler notes
Moldova is a landlocked country located between Romania and Ukraine, known for its wines and monasteries. Tours can be arranged from the capital, Chișinău, visiting wineries and monasteries.
- Avoid discussing the potential reunification of Romania and Moldova, or the Transnistria conflict.
- Exercise caution regarding Moldova's relationship with Russia or its potential EU membership, particularly in pro-Russian regions (Gagauzia and Transnistria).
- Be mindful of regional identities, as this can be a sensitive topic even though Romanian is the official language.
