The 5 Best Day Trips from Chisinau, Moldova
by ASocialNomad
Why we featured this post
Moldova's best sights sit within an hour of Chisinau, and this guide shows how to reach them without a tour. Sarah Carter covers the cave monastery at Orheiul Vechi, the five churches of Curchi Monastery, and the wine tunnels at Cricova and Mileștii Mici, which is billed as the world's largest wine cellar. Each trip has the marshrutka route from the central bus station, plus when a taxi or tour makes more sense. Orheiul Vechi and Curchi pair well in one day. Book the winery tours ahead, as walk-ins can miss out.
