📣 Traveler notes

Moldova is a small, landlocked country located between Romania and Ukraine. It is known for its monasteries and wines. Tours focusing on winemaking and religious sites can be accessed from the capital, Chișinău.

Local curiosity is generally harmless.
Be cautious when discussing sensitive political topics, such as the reunification of Moldova and Romania, the Transnistria conflict, or relations with Russia.
When approached by scammers, it is advisable to ignore or firmly tell them to leave. Culturally, women are highly respected; male locals are traditionally expected to show chivalry (e.g., paying for items, opening doors). In rural areas, women are expected to refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol.
