Chisinau
Chisinau is the largest city in Moldova and being the capital city, Chisinau is a great starting point for a first-time vacation in Moldova.Chisinau is characterized by its beautiful architecture and the best way to appreciate the beautiful buildings, parks and monuments is on a walking tour of the city center.
Tiraspol
Tiraspol is located southwest of the country, near the border with Ukraine, and remains largely unchanged from the Soviet-era days.Today, Tiraspol is one of the best places to visit in Moldova if you’re interested in marveling at soviet-style architecture and landmarks.
Soroca
Soroca is located in northern Moldova, close to the Ukraine border also, overlooking the beautiful Dniester River.I'd have to say that a visit to Moldova wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Soroca as it is home to one of the most stunning places to visit in Moldova – the Soroca fortress (pictured) - which is a great example of medieval-style architecture in the country.
Saharna
The village of Saharna is located around 60 minutes drive north of Chisinau and it’s an excellent place to enjoy a relaxing day trip from the capital.Saharna is also on my list of interesting places to visit in Moldova because of the Saharna Monastery and the stunning natural scenery surrounding this village.If you’re a nature lover or are looking for a place to escape the crowds, don’t miss a visit to Saharna to check out the famous monastery and the beautiful waterfalls.
Ivancea
Ivancea is located on the beautiful Moldavian countryside, and it is another place worth adding to the list of interesting places to visit in Moldavia.Ivancea is located near the Codrii National Park, so it is also a great destination for a day trip from Chisinau.Ivancea is probably one of my favorite villages in Moldova because of the beautiful and colorful houses, the wells and crosses which are very characteristic of most Moldavian villages.
Old Orhei
If you’re looking for more fun things to do in Moldova near Chisinau, the Old Orhei archeological site is another of my suggested places to visit in Moldova.The Old Orhei archeological site is located 20 minutes drive north from the village of Ivancea, and around 90 minutes drive north of Chisinau.You can spend a fun and a pleasant day at Old Orhei Site checking out interesting sights and ruins dating from the middle ages.
The Reserve Codrii
The
Reserve Codrii is located in the North-West of Central Moldavian
Plateau, between the rivers Prut and Nistru. Due to the favorable
climatic conditions, this teritory is really rich in wood which is
very special for Bessarabia, very close to broadleaved forests in
mid-leaved Europe.The oldest scientific reserve of Moldova "Codrii"
is located near the village Lozova, about 50 km from Chisinau, and
was founded on 27 September 1971. The reserve have the highest
scientific degree of protection is are divided into three functional
zones: a strictly protected area, middle zone and transition zone. The nature here impresses with plenty of shapes and species, some of
them rare or endangered. In reserve "Codrii" are placed
under protection as 1000 species of plants, meaning half of Moldova's
flora, 43 species of mammals, 145 species of birds, 7 species of
reptiles, 10 amphibians and over 10,000 species of insects. The main
species are pedunculate oak trees in the forest, oak and beech. The
perimeter of the reserve represents a representative area of meadow
and a rich work of Nature's Museum.
