Moldova is a country that is often overlooked in Europe, but its very obscurity is part of what makes it so interesting. As one of the continent’s least-visited nations, it offers an authentic, untouristed experience that is a stark contrast to the crowds of Western Europe.
This is fun: Underground Wine Cities: It is home to the world’s largest underground wine cellars, Cricova and Milestii Mici, which are vast networks of tunnels storing millions of bottles. You can drive a car through the streets of these underground wine cities, which are named after grape varieties. Prized Wines: Despite its lesser-known status, Moldovan wine is a significant part of the country’s economy and culture. It has been winning international awards and is celebrated at the annual National Wine Day festival.
