MORE INFO
Chisinau is understated, affordable, green, and far more practical than many travelers expect. It does not have the polished beauty of Central European capitals, but it offers low rent, strong internet, leafy boulevards, wine bars, markets, and a slow everyday rhythm. It works best for remote workers who value affordability and focus rather than major-city excitement. The main trade-offs are limited international flight depth, modest healthcare, and a smaller expat ecosystem.
