Cultural heritage
One of the things that you’ll quickly notice when you visit Moldova is the richness of
Moldovan culture and traditions. This deep and diverse cultural heritage is represented
not only it the traditional crafts like the famous Moldovan traditional woven carpet and
Ia, the traditional Moldovan embroidered costume, but also in holiday celebrations, music
and festivals.
As you travel across Moldova you will certainly find some places, both in the
Moldovan countryside as well as in urban Chisinau, where you will encounter and have
the opportunity to become immersed in Moldova’s cultural heritage and traditions.
Everywhere you go you’ll find friendly local people excited to tell you stories about
Moldovan history and traditions so that you quickly find yourself feeling welcome like a
true guest.
And remember, Moldova’s authentic culture is not just about tradition and the
past. You will also find a vibrant modern culture and contemporary art scene with street
art and graffiti, design and fashion, as well as an active co-working and tech scene.
Moldova’s culture today embraces the authenticity of its past and present.
