Things to do in Chisinau International Airport
Chisinau is the capital of Moldova — one of Europe's smallest, least-visited, and most underrated countries, sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine. The Cathedral Park, Stefan cel Mare Boulevard, and National History Museum give the city a pleasant, unhurried character. Moldova's extraordinary wine culture is the standout attraction: Cricova and Mileștii Mici underground wine cellars are among the world's largest, with hundreds of kilometers of tunnels carved through limestone holding millions of bottles and entire presidential wine collections.

- Moldova produces exceptional and affordable wine, particularly the indigenous Feteasca Neagra red and Rara Neagra varieties — far cheaper than comparable European wines.
