Romanian- and also Russian-speaking, this wee sliver betwixt Romania and Ukraine is very much under most travelers' radars but is especially appealing to budget travelers and winery fans. Capital Chișinău has good restaurants and cultural/museum scene, while the countryside's a bucolic blast from the past.

    Viticulture in what is today Moldova stretches as far back as 7,000 years, and today the country is Europe's 11th largest and the world's 20th largest wine producer. The tourism authority has a good wine and wine routes section on its website: https://moldova.travel/en/wine-of-moldova/

    I just visited Moldova and fell in love - much to my surprise! I had been told I wouldn't like it. Oh so wrong... Here's what I wrote about my visit. Highly recommended, even if you don't drink! Just one thing everyone seems to agree upon - visit in the between seasons, not in winter (and mid-summer as I did was hot hot hot!)
