I really like the Pushkin Museum in Chisinau, where the poet spent time in exile writing Eugene Onegin. Here, you can find out about his love affair with a local gypsy girl. The museum is small and don't worry if the staff come shuffling after you in slippers turning the lights off once you have finished in a room!

Tucked between Romania and Ukraine, Moldova is a hidden gem that we feel deserves your attention. Moldovan wine is the focus of most visits but take time to explore the capital, Chisinau, and make sure you visit the Soviet throwback self-proclaimed republic of Transdniestr.

Chisinau hasn't quite shaken off its heritage with its 20th-century Soviet architecture but this is tempered by tree-lined boulevards and numerous parks. Don't be fooled by the severity of the architecture though as the Moldovans know how to party and the night life is legendary.

On your Moldova holidays, use Chisinau as a base and venture out of town to the fortress at Soroco, home to a large gypsy population who live in lavish mansions. Join the monks at the spectacular Orheuil Vecha cave monastery carved into a limestone cliff, tour the vineyards on the Wine Route and then settle back to enjoy the mud treatments and thermal springs at Cahul.

Transdniestr is an enigma where the Soviet Union lives on. But in Tiraspol, where Socialist banners and monuments to Soviet heroes abound, smart shops and chic restaurants are making an appearance so go soon before it loses its quirky nature.

Regent Holidays can arrange group tours, tailor-made itineraries, Chisinau city breaks and holidays to Moldova. Contact one of our Caucasus Travel Specialists today to discuss your Moldova holiday plans.
