Moldova is known as the least visited country in Europe. A number of famous vloggers have decided to find out why that is. They have visited the biggest cities, tried the local cuisine and talked with the locals. Although everyone experienced Moldova differently, most of them agreed that international tourists should give it a try and that the country should become much more famous than it is. Among the vloggers that posted videos about their visit are:
