Best Chisinau Tours

Chisinau is the hidden gem of Eastern Europe. It is sparsely populated, quiet and doesn’t have huge crowds of tourists swarming all over the city making it an ideal city for those who are seeking less touristy cities to vacation. Chisinau has a great wine culture with Moldova even celebrating a National Wine day. The wines are exported to over 50 countries.

If you are a Wine connoisseur then Chisinau is your dream city, however, if you have had little or no wine in your life then you can take one of the many wine and cognac tasting sessions in the city. The most popular winery of the country is just a few kilometres outside Chisinau. The city also has great food and you must visit a local restaurant serving traditional Moldovan food to get a taste of the local culture. Chisinau also has beautiful churches and Cathedrals, especially Cathedral Of Christ’s Nativity. This is the main cathedral of the Moldovan Orthodox Church and was built in the 1830s.
