Moldova: recommended activities
Moldova: visa and entry requirements
Citizens of the EU, UK, US and many other nationalities can enter without a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days.
Always check the updated requirements before departure, especially if you plan to visit Transnistria, which has its own separate crossing rules.
Moldova: safety
Moldova is generally a safe country for visitors, with violent crime rare.
Always check your country's updated travel advisories, especially regarding the breakaway region of Transnistria and the areas near the border with Ukraine.
Moldova: health situation
No mandatory vaccinations are required for entry from Europe. The healthcare system is developing compared to Western European standards: travel insurance is recommended.
Tap water is generally safe in Chisinau, but many visitors nonetheless prefer bottled water outside the capital.
Moldova: currency, payments and connectivity
The currency is the Moldovan leu (MDL). Credit cards are accepted at hotels and restaurants in Chisinau, less so outside the capital: bring sufficient cash.
The languages spoken are Romanian (the official language) and Russian, widely used. A tip (10%) is appreciated at restaurants.
