Book your flights to Moldova online. Travelling to Moldova is rewarding and enjoyable. The forests and countryside are unspoilt, the hills and lakes are truly beautiful picturesque landscapes. Sitting in between two larger neighbours, Romania and Ukraine, Moldova is 100km away from the Black Sea, and the area between the Dniester and Prut rivers form the base of its territory. Moldova remains a largely agricultural country where wild animals roam freely in forests and the terrain in the mountains is rugged and tough.

Independence of a small country

Chisinau is the capital of what was once the poorest Soviet state. Despite continued economic problems, the city is proud and bustling. It's the rural economy that people depend upon here for basic necessities. Reserve your Malev special offer flight on our Budapest-Chisinau route. Chisinau is in the middle part of the country, a former part of the Ottoman Empire, which after 1812 moved into the Russian sphere of influence. Generally, the Orthodox Church has a loyal following in this area, reflecting a historical Romanian influence.

Wine and Moldova

The capital city Chisinau shows a surprising tendency towards green areas, as the parks, lakes and the Byk River provide breathing space and recreational facilities. The monuments of the city often date from the catastrophes of the Second World War, yet old buildings persist, and its possible to see churches which are entirely historical and traditional in character. The National History Museum exhibits are a testament to the long and difficult path to Moldovan independence. It's really worthwhile to take a tour of the wine regions as Moldova is notable for its wine making. The most renowned are Crivoca, Cojusna and Straseni, where vineyards are considered especially highly regarded. For a break from the huge quantities and qualities of wines, in Capriana a monastery from the 14th century can be found. The building consists of 3 parts - the first from the 14th century, whilst the last addition was in the 20th centurt. Find out about the price of flights to Moldova.
