Moldova for a long time attracted by its beauty and uniqueness, despite the fact that there is no sea or mountains that are a priority for recreation of many tourists.
Nevertheless, there are not enough beautiful places like natural and historical. I want to tell you about how you can organize your holiday yourself, the better and cheaper to get to, where to stay, eat and other subtleties with whom you have to face making the choice of an individual trip.
And so why I recommend an independent trip. There are several reasons for this. As in any case, this type of tourism has its pros and cons. I will say at the beginning, about minus. By purchasing any ready-made tour, you are completely, if you can express it, provided by what will be necessary throughout its entire time. I mean transport, accommodation, meals, excursions and other little things included in this program. On the one hand, it is, of course, convenient because you do not need to think about how to get to, where to stay or eat. The whole upcoming trip is painted on the items and you just float for the flow. " Stay in hotels that you reserved and attend the planned excursions, in the time allocated for them. The essence of an independent travel is that you are not tied to certain graphics and programs, and yourself choose everything that would like to visit, where to stay and so on. In a word, in this situation, everything is in your hands and you decide what, where and when. But in this case, the plus may not only be in freedom of action, but also in the financial side of the issue. If you can easily calculate and prepare for this trip in advance, you can save a good amount of money. I can't talk about the cost of travel from one or another region, as prices will be varied, take the point of sending the point from Moscow as a basis.
You can get different types of transport. Who prefers a personal car and I, for example, for the most part, so all the time and do, can go on it. In this case, the amount of expenses on the road will depend on the type of your car and the cost of fuel on the path. There can be no accurate digit on this. I can only say that the approximate distance will turn out about 1,200 kilometers (one way) and on the basis of this, you can approximately calculate the upcoming costs. From myself I can add that if you have a big family or a company, then such transport will be very profitable. As for other species, the ticket to the Moscow-Chisinau bus is about fifty dollars, and the trip will take about twenty hours. By train, and there are two options, it is a quick number 47 (time of departure 19:57) and the usual number 341 (time of departure 12:43) by following the Moscow-Chisinau, will cost about forty dollars per person, in a second-class car.
The duration of the speed is twenty-nine hours, ordinary almost thirty two hours. Both are departed from the Kiev Station of the city of Moscow. As for the aircraft, the prices may change, depending on the demand for one time or another period of time, I can only say that it has been flying for one hundred dollars and even cheaper, although the standard price is usually higher.
The flight time in this direction takes about one and a half hours. At the moment, civilian aircraft takes only one airport, which is located in the capital of Moldova, Chisinau.
This is what concerns transport. Once again it is emphasized that the prices and time of the following were named in one direction. Speaking about moving along the republic itself, for this you can use the route or by flight buses, as well as diesel trains running in some directions.
There is one more option, it is a vehicle or a private taxi that works on the principle of a route minibus, that is, four people are recruited in a passenger car and follows the installed route. You can go myself by paying the remaining three places. The fare is practically no different from the one that must be paid on a minibus may be slightly higher, but not significant.
Now a little about where you can stay while traveling and how much it will cost. Naturally, prices can change and depend on in where you decide to make a stop. If we talk about hotels, they are quite a large selection in Chisinau itself, as in other times the "northern capital" of the Republic, the city of Beltsy, who (if not taken into account Tiraspol, which is currently the capital of the self-proclaimed Transnistrian Republic) is considered the second largest .
The average price of the double room is about fifty dollars per day of stay (I will not lead to the example of luxury rooms, cost from two hundredth three hundred dollars and higher). It is possible to stop in more economical, road hotels located in areas of train stations, everything has already depends on your desire.
In addition, if you use the "Macler" newspaper, which is sold in any street kiosk, you can find a large number of accommodation options in apartments or other types of real estate. Prices can be quite different here, since it all depends on the comfort of such real estate, and of course the region itself. This option can be chosen in advance, because the Internet has a website of this newspaper, with all published ads. Please note that there is a "broker Chisinau" and "Balti broker", so you can choose from where you decide to stop.
An important issue of the service life during rest. There are also plenty of options and it all depends on your preference. Choosing cafes, bars, restaurants and even dining rooms, quite large. Naturally, it is cheaper to eat in the dining room. At the moment, such dots of public catering are functioning in areas or in the neighborhood, with various enterprises, large polyclinics and hospitals, government agencies or educational institutions. Nevertheless, the services of the canteens can take advantage of everyone. To date, the choice of dishes in such dining rooms is quite large and they are not similar to those familiar to us for us for the collaboration of the Soviet Union, and in their species rather resemble a restaurant, only with self-service. Prices are quite acceptable and lunch out of three dishes, in the usual understanding, can cost from one and a half dollars. Again, I note that it all depends on where such a dining room is located. If it is designed for students and is located in an educational area, food prices can be even lower, since they are subsidized by the state. As for bars or restaurants, you yourself understand, a clear answer to the cost of dishes can not be given, since the price policy can be completely different.
But if we talk about the average cost, I can say that it is not necessary to eat dollars for ten. Although, I think, such a dinner or dinner in the restaurant will cost a little more expensive, because it will be difficult for you to stay from the temptation and not to taste the wonderful wine or brandy, which Moldavia is so famous.
As for visits to sights, the choice here is completely dependent on you. And about what can be visited and how much it will cost, read in articles about interesting places Moldova, and this is another topic.
