What are the pros and cons of living in Chisinau?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Chisinau responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Chisinau, often like the low cost of living, which allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. They appreciate the friendly and hospitable locals who are generally welcoming to foreigners. The city's rich history and culture, along with its beautiful parks and green spaces, provide plenty of opportunities for exploration and relaxation. The local cuisine is another aspect that many expats and digital nomads enjoy, with a variety of traditional dishes and local wines to sample. Chisinau's central location in Europe also makes it a convenient base for traveling to other countries in the region. However, there are also some aspects of living in Chisinau that expats and digital nomads may dislike. The city's infrastructure can be lacking, with poor road conditions and unreliable public transportation. The language barrier can also be a challenge, as not everyone speaks English, and learning Romanian or Russian may be necessary to navigate daily life more easily. Additionally, the job market in Chisinau may not be as robust as in other European cities, which could make it difficult for expats and digital nomads to find work opportunities. The city's nightlife and entertainment options may also be limited compared to larger cities, which could be a downside for those seeking a more vibrant social scene. Lastly, the political situation in Moldova can be unstable at times, which may cause some expats and digital nomads to feel uneasy about their long-term prospects in the country," said one expat in Chisinau.
