Tours to Spain from Chisinau — Last-Minute Offers
During the season, Spain is served from Chisinau by direct charters on two routes: to Barcelona, a short ride from the beaches of the Costa Brava and the Costa Dorada, and to the Mediterranean island of Mallorca. The flight takes a little over three hours, and Chisinau itself is a coach or Bessarabia train ride away from Kyiv. Spain belongs to Schengen, which means visa-free entry with a biometric passport, while your EES enrolment happens at the Spanish airport.
A tour to Spain from Chisinau covers your charter seats, a welcome with a transfer to the hotel, a room with whichever board basis you pick and trip insurance, while the ride to Chisinau is something you book yourself. The tour search lists offers on both routes for your travel window, and a manager can recommend a resort.

What to See in Mallorca
- Palma. The Gothic cathedral of La Seu, whose interior Gaudí also worked on, the round Bellver Castle on its hill and the lanes of the old town.

When to Go
- June – September. The swimming season and charter months; in August the sea reaches +25…+27 °C.
- July – August. The hottest and busiest weeks, with peak hotel prices.
- May and October. Cooler for swimming, but ideal for strolling around Palma and heading into the Tramuntana.
Tourist Tax and Prices
The Balearic Islands levy a tourist tax of up to €4 per person per night plus VAT, depending on the type of accommodation; children under 16 are exempt, and the rate drops outside the season. Catalonia has a similar levy, several times higher in Barcelona than in the coastal resorts. It is paid at the hotel on arrival or departure. What a tour to Spain from Chisinau costs depends on the route, hotel, meals and month: the cheapest periods are early June and September, and early booking brings discounts. Mallorca's all-inclusive complexes cluster in the north around Alcudia and along Playa de Palma.
Documents and EES
- Biometric passport. Visa-free stays are capped at 90 days in a rolling 180-day period across all Schengen countries, and your passport needs three more months of validity after the return date.
- EES in Spain. Moldova lies outside the zone, so you are enrolled on landing in Barcelona or Palma: the system records your passport, takes a photo and scans your fingerprints.
- An ID card works for entering Moldova, yet boarding a plane to Spain takes a passport.
- Leaving Ukraine. Check the current exit procedure for conscription-age men and under-18s before paying.
