About Suceava

Located in north-eastern Romania, Suceava is a town brimming with history, culture and art waiting to be explored. Full of hidden gems, much of its heritage has been preserved so you can witness its true authenticity. Suceava is the gateway to visiting the Painted Monasteries of Bucovina, UNESCO World Heritage Sites that boast truly one of a kind architecture. Just a short drive away east, this collection of churches are not to be missed.

The Princely Fortress of Suceava, built at the end of the 14th century, is an important monument to visit - it served as the main residence of Moldavia’s rulers for almost 200 years. For full historial immersion, stay close to the city centre at one of the many affordable hotels, or a self-catering studio can aid you to live like a local. It’s also the perfect opportunity to experience traditional Romanian cuisine - sarmale cu mamaliga is a favourite which involves stuffed cabbage usually prepared with cottage cheese, sour cream and milk.
