At Regent Holidays, there’s nothing we love more than creating pioneering trips to uncover intriguing and alternative destinations – unless, of course, the destination is a breakaway state. Bonus points are awarded if that tour also coincides with a one-off event or national celebration. Our Independence Day in Transdniestria group tour ticks all these boxes so if you’re looking to visit somewhere really off-the-beaten-track this year, Moldova and the self-declared independent state of Transdniestria should have you fumbling for your passport. It's even a tour that Wanderlust recognises as an undiscovered exciting European trip.

Celebrate the Independence Day of a technically non-existent country in Tiraspol, a capital city known as one of the last living relics of the Soviet Era, before spending a few days exploring Moldova and sampling local wine in Chisinau. In 2020 it will be 30 years since Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic declared independence so it should be a special celebration! During this tour, visitors have the opportunity to meet lots of local people over delicious meals. and learn about their culture and history.

This is a small group tour that operates with a minimum of 8 persons/maximum of 16 persons.
