Orheiul Vechi with its cave monasteries, churches, ancient and medieval ruins and fascinating natural rock formations is a place full of mystery, legends and breathtaking landscapes. Conveniently located only 45-50 minutes away from the capital city of Chisinau, Orheiul Vechi is a must-visit destination for visitors to Moldova. While you can always visit Orheiul Viechi as a day trip from [Chisinau](https://travel.evisoft.com/en/a/chisinau-city), we recommend you stay a bit longer and overnight in Butuceni or Trebujeni villages to truly feel the depth of history, natural beauty and local hospitality in this beautiful pocket of [central Moldova](https://travel.evisoft.com/en/a/center-of-moldova).
