The guides in Moldova
ChișinăuMoldovaThe least-visited capital in Europe, a city of parks and Soviet concrete, with the biggest wine cellars in the world under the hills outside it and a country that wants you to come
Orheiul VechiMoldovaA limestone gorge an hour from the capital with a monastery cut into the cliff, a village of whitewashed houses, and two thousand years of layers under the grass
TiraspolMoldovaThe capital of a country that does not exist: Lenin still standing, a currency nobody else takes, a Soviet main street kept as it was, and a day trip from Chișinău that is stranger than anywhere else in Europe
