📣 Traveler notes

Moldova is a landlocked European country situated between Romania and Ukraine. It is known for its wine and monasteries, with tours available from the capital, Chișinău.

  • Political discussions are polarizing, involving pro-EU, pro-Russia, and neutral viewpoints.
  • Avoid discussing the unification of Romania and Moldova, or the conflict in Transnistria.
  • Exercise caution when discussing Moldova's relationship with Russia and EU membership, especially in Gagauzia and Transnistria.
  • While Romanian is the official language, identity and language discussions can be sensitive (Moldovan vs. Romanian).
