Should you visit Chisinau. capital of Moldova? Perhaps Europe's least visited country, Moldova - and Chisinau - notoriously got a scathing review from Bald and Bankrupt back in 2019.

Today, it's challenges remain: and as well as a weak economy, it's now hosting tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees from the illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

I went there volunteering for Refugee Support Europe, to help Ukrainian refugees. But I also found myself asking: is this the same city that Mr Bald found such fault with?

Join me as I look at Chisinau's parks, see up close the political differences and tensions which exist in Moldovan society, take a tour down streets, monuments and markets that might be worth your while, see the most famous thing in Moldova right now, tour the underpasses, see the bars and nightlife, and visit the Cricova Winery outside of Chisinau, for a sunset party.
