Physical map of Moldova, equirectangular projection
The Republic of Moldova is a landlocked country in eastern Europe, located between Romania to the west and Ukraine to the east.
The western border of Moldova is formed by the Prut river, which joins the Danube before flowing into the Black Sea. In the north-east, the Dniester is the main river, flowing through the country from north to south.
The terrain of Moldova consists of plains, hilly steppes and river valleys.
The country is landlocked, even though it is very close to the Black Sea. While the northern part of the country is hilly, elevations never exceed 430 m.
Chisinau is the capital city. Other major cities include Tiraspol, Balti and Bender.
