eSIM for Moldova
Covered by our Europe plan, from $10.00.
What the network is actually like
Decent in Chișinău and along main roads, thinner in the countryside. Transnistria operates separately and should not be assumed to be covered.
Networks: Orange
How much data you'll need
5GB for a week, but coverage thins once you're off the main roads, so don't lean on it.
Where people go
Chișinău
Green, low-rise and far more relaxed than its reputation.
Cricova
Wine cellars you drive through, in a tunnel network beneath the town.
Orheiul Vechi
A cave monastery cut into a limestone cliff.
What's on
Timings are month-level, because most of these move year to year.

First weekend of October
Chișinău
Moldova has one of the oldest wine industries in Europe and takes this seriously.
