Dia da Capital

📣 Notas para viajantes

Moldova is a small, landlocked European country situated between Romania and Ukraine, famous for its wine and monastic sites. Organized tours, including winery and monastery visits, can be arranged from the capital, Chișinău.

• Political discussions are often polarizing (e.g., views on EU, Russian ties, or neutrality). Exercise caution when discussing sensitive topics such as the union of Romania and Moldova, or the Transnistria conflict.
• Be prepared for nuanced discussions regarding Moldovan identity and language.
• Recognize the deep cultural value placed on women within Moldovan society.
• Be aware that local curiosity may be intense; if approached by potential scammers, politely ignore or refuse interaction. Historically, men may treat Moldovan women with chivalry (e.g., paying bills or carrying items). In rural areas, refrain from smoking or consuming alcohol for women.
