Romanian Moldavia region capital — historically the capital of the Principality of Moldavia (until 1862) and Romania's second-most populous city in the interwar period. The Centrul Civic and the Copou hill (the historic university district) are the walkable cores. Romania's tourist visa-free 90/180 for many western passports; the Long-Stay Visa for self-employed is the long-stay route. Schengen since 2024. The structural draws are deep Moldavian historical-and-cultural density, the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University (one of Romania's oldest), and meaningfully sub-Bucharest pricing.
