- From Bucharest to Moldova
Bucharest
Located in Southeastern Europe, the Republic of Moldova, or simply Moldova as it is colloquially known, boasts a rich and tumultuous history. Although it contributed to the formation of the first Romanian national state in the late 19th century, subsequent historical events separated the two countries. Moldova was under Russian rule until it declared its independence in 1917, reuniting with Romania the following year. However, 30 years later, the Soviet Union annexed Moldova, once again separating it from Romania. Moldova declared its independence in 1991, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and has since remained an independent state. Despite this, the two sister countries continue to share strong cultural and historical bonds.
The authentic traditions and customs of this region attract numerous tourists from all over the world each year. The main tourist attractions in Moldova include rural and wine tourism. Picturesque Moldovan villages offer tourists accommodation in traditional rural households, where they can take part in local activities, exploring folklore, entertainment, and traditions. Moldova is home to 142 wineries, 23 of which are equipped to welcome visitors, offering tours and wine tastings.
When visiting Moldova, must-see attractions include the National Palace, the Parliament Palace, the Holy Gates (Arch of Triumph), and the Presidential Palace in the capital city of Chișinău. Other notable landmarks include the Heroes’ Memorial and the Arch of Triumph in Bender, Tighina Fortress in Bender, Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt Park, Valea Morilor Park and Lake, the National Museum of Ethnography and Natural History, and the Village Museum in Chișinău.
Moldovans take great pride in their culture, which they celebrate through numerous annual festivals and events, such as the "Mărțișor" International Festival, the annual "Ethno-Jazz" Festival, the "White Water Lily" Folklore Festival, the "Queen Violin" International Festival, and "Chișinău Drum Day," the international festival of drummers and percussionists.
