Formerly, Moldova was known to have a controversial travel destination. In the past, Moldova has been brushed off due to being one of the poorest European countries and landlocked by other nations.
But the facts are that Moldova has grown, changed, and has come a long way to become an up-and-coming travel destination.
From their decreasing crime rate to their friendly people, Moldova will leave every tourist wanting more of this wine-loving country. If you haven’t decided whether Moldova would be right for you, here are some reasons why we love this developing travel destination.
1. Developing tourism
Over the past few years, Moldova has morphed from an unfriendly location to greenery full of hospitality. More recently, tourists have reported that the country is now booming with offering accessible vineyards tours, historical landmarks, wildlife nature reserves, and increased local hospitality.
Due to this shift in attitude, tourism boomed in the past two years. In 2021, tourism doubled and reached a whole 762,900 nights booked. The tourism boom has also coincided with a decrease in crime rates.
2. Reliable transportation
Moldova has relatively good public transportation with bus capacities as low as 15 passengers. Due to the small population, both small minibusses and large 24-seater buses and coaches are available throughout the city depending on the destination’s popularity.
