Discover Moldova & Ukraine

On this tailor-made tour in Moldova discover Chisinau, a city more reminiscent of a provincial town with its wonderful selection of museums, a fabulous opera house andplenty of excellent restaurants offering one of Moldova’s national treasures – its wine. In Ukraine, head to the bustling seaport of Odessa, where cobblestone boulevards line the coast  and complete the journey in the cosmopolitan city of Kiev, where striking golden domes scatter the city.

This itinerary leaves you free to spend the days as you wish. However, we can pre-book several excursions in both Moldova and Ukraine. Speak to a Regent Travel Specialist for more details.
