What to see and do in Suceviţa

The main visitor attraction in the area is the Sucevita Monastery, built between 1582 and 1601, a part of the UNESCO world heritage sites. It is an epitome of the architectural style that defined the Musatin period and stands out with its mural frescoes and noticeable Sucevita Green, wonderfully blending with the green scenery of forests and everglades that surround the Monastery.

The rich local heritage has prompted the hard working inhabitants to capitalize the local traditions through various events and festivals, such as: “The days of the Sucevita Heritage”, “The Tourism Fair” , “The Boarding House Ball”, “The Wild Berries Festival”, “The Goodman’s Festival”, “The Winter Traditions Festival”. The village school exhibits an ethnographic collection, while in Marginea, a village at 9 kilometres away, tourists can visit the Black Potery Centre, where a handful of people still kick the wheel and fire the pottery, just as their ancestors did before them. Tourists can also visit the blacksmith’s and witness the horseshoe fitting.

Recreation and Leisure

Sucevita is a very auspicious location in any season. Lively colours bewitch you in summer, while snowy winters shape the forests and peaks into a fairytale scenery. Unwinding in the fresh air is perfected by horse drawn carriage or sleigh rides, hiking or cycling. The forest roads lead to Putna, and Poiana Micului, and visitors can enjoy guided tours on picturesque trails through mysterious woodlands. If one wishes to relax and escape the busy city life, a walk in the forest or a spa treatment at the hotels in the area should relieve the tension. You can always rely on the local tourism association for information or advice.
