Unfortunately Bucovina is worth visiting in it’s entirety but with the war in Ukraine you can’t visit the Ukranian side like: Cernowitz (Cernăuți in Romanian) and Khotyn Fortress (Hotin in Romanian) and Zoological Reserve of “Zubrovytsia” that has European Bison.
So we will focus in Suceava county in Romania. Why is this region so special? Austrian influence, capital of Moldavia, amazing views, hiking (check Via Transilvanica), Painted monasteries, 6 UNESCO heritage sites and so many things to add. Basically the heart and soul on Romania (People might disagree but Dracula awaits suggestions in the comment section). Top things to do in Suceava:
Voroneț Monastery
Impossible not to start here… It is a beautiful painted monastery with an iconic blue color that has an exquisite depiction of Judgement Day close to the entrance. It is considered the Sistine Chapel of the East for that reason alone.

Pietrele Doamnei (The Lady’s Rocks)
It is a medium difficulty hike that involves a bit of endurance, and I mention this at the beginning because I have received complaints from friends as it was harder than expected. If you like hiking it is not going to be difficult. Passed that moment you will get on a clear day one of the most beautiful views of Buovina ever!

Decorated Egg Museum
Bucovina has 2 decorated egg museums, this one has one of the largest collection of decorated eggs in the world and offers courses on making your own painted eggs. Usually made just for Easter celebrations, the designs are truly intricate and the different colors depict different regions in just Suceava county alone. Also you get to see decorated python eggs made traditionally by different African nations.

Pătrăuți Church
One of the most underrated places to visit as it is not the most famous of the Painted Monasteries (actually it recently became a monastery again). It has some cool stories behind it but what really makes it stand out is the relationship with the sun, at different moments in time the sun shines over different paintings telling a story.

Marginea Pottery
This is part of Romanian heritage, generations of artisans have been working on preserving this unique method of obtaining dark pottery. Best part is you can bring home these unique works of art!
