Chisinau - Post Report Question and Answers
What have been the highlights of your time in this country? Best trips or experiences?
It has been an incredible experience. We have loved learning about the culture, the friends we have made, the amazing food and wine, and our trips to Orhei Vechi, Gagauzia, and Soroca. We also had great trips by car to a number of places in Romania. Sunflower season throughout Moldova is beautiful. Summer fruits and vegetables are the best. Everything grows in the soil here and most people keep vegetable gardens. - Sep 2023
Taking the dog for a long walk along the Dnistr river at Vadu Lui Voda, about an hour east of Chisinau. A muddy, half-wild riverbank and a Labrador retriever on a gorgeous autumn day, and the Eurasian steppe stretching out for five thousand miles on the other side of the river: what's not to like? Great meal and wine at the underground wine storage (make sure there's a designated driver). - Apr 2019
Eating in the ubiquitous outdoor cafes in the spring and summer, the endless wine tastings, outdoor concerts, affordable opera, theatre, and symphony tickets, touring the giant underground wine cellars, experiencing the bounty of fresh fruits and veggies at the outdoor markets. - Aug 2011
Chisinau is relaxed. The food and wine are very nice (particularly if you like to cook for yourself).The small community allows you (forces you) to get to know people from all countries and all agencies. As I'll say several times, the weather during spring, summer, and fall are great. I don't personally love winter, but winter can be beautiful as well and kids love it. - May 2010
