About Moldova
Whether this is your first or a repeat trip to Moldova, you can find a lot of interesting information about our country right here.
Moldova was one of the fifteen republics that made up the former Soviet Union.
The sovereign independent state of Moldova occupies a territory of 33,843 sq km and is geographically located in the Southeastern part of Europe. In the North, East and South it is bordered by Ukraine and in the West the Prut river separates Moldova from Romania. The Dniester and the Prut are the biggest rivers in Moldova and the Danube runs along about 1 km of our border. The Danube is the only outlet to the sea for Moldova and a port is being built on that small piece of land now.
You can traverse the territory of Moldova by car from its Eastern border to the West in only four hours. During your travels you can see vivid views of sloping hills covered by forest. This area is known as the "Moldavian Switzerland" for its picturesque nature. The forests alternate with orchards and vineyards and where ever you go in Moldova you will see walnut trees lining the roads.
Though Moldova is not rich in mineral wealth, there are considerable deposits of mineral resources used as raw materials for producing building materials.
