4.0Cetatea de Scaun a Sucevei(201 reviews) - Place where history still alive Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Historic Sites • Ancient Ruins • Castles
Suceava Fortress is a great place. If you will come here you need to find the time and visit this location. If you like some adventure you can turn right from the road and walk through the park, high up to the hill where Fortress is located. Honestly, we were a little lost but Romanian people are so kind and they helped us to find the right way. Near Fortress we found the ethnical museum, the Bucovina Village. It looks like Pirogovo Village near Kyiv, but I liked it too. It was interesting to know how peoples lived here in old times.See more..
4.5Putna Monastery(131 reviews) - Beautifully preserved landmark of Romanian Christianity Wednesday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
Must see for Romanian orthodox pilgrims and for lovers of art & history. The interior of the main church and the architecture are very beautiful. The inside paintings of the church were restored in the 2000s. Free entrance to the church, but no pictures / videos are allowed inside (only outside for a few of 10 RON). Museum available for visit against a fee. A nice shop outside the entrance with souvenirs, religious books and the like, cash only. Fair road to it, but pay attention to the other monastery located only a few km down the road, not to mix the locations by the GPS. Several accommodation and eating places nearby. No street sellers, at least at the moment of our visit (5-6 PM on 01.01).See more..

4.0Cacica Salt Mine(53 reviews) - Interesting experience in an active salt mine Historic Sites
As it is the only active salt mine, it's interesting to see everything and go down all those stairs (~200). No guide, but it's interesting because they have a ballroom inside the mine, a football zone, a little church and a little lake where they used to float to show their intentions to get married. I don't regret going. You can also buy salt from the mine and experience the smell in which the mine workers live in everyday.See more..
I have been here many times; before '89 the church was not so carefully cared, but when i visited the place this summer I saw many good changes : a museum , a nice garden and a very good guide.See more..
4.5Palatul Memorial Alexandru Ioan Cuza(7 reviews) - Romanian history Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Speciality Museums • Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings
Cuza palace, in Ruginoasa, is relatively close to Iasi city and can make a good one-day trip. It has a small park around it. There is also an interesting church and the place where Al. I. Cuza was initially buried (now he rests in the Three Holy Hierarchs church of Iasi). The exterior of the building is quite nice. The interiors are well restored, full of beautiful objects and interesting artefacts related to Cuza, one of the most important figures of Romanian history. In the rooms there are displayed information in both Romanian and English. Unfortunately, taking pictures inside is forbidden.See more..
5.0Equestrian Statue of Stephen the Great(5 reviews) - Peaceful Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
Nice to visit the wall of Stephan Cel Mare. Nice clean area to admire in a local peaceful setting. It is worth visting.See more..
The castle is very beautiful, I would say it is a hidden gem. A lot of people don't know about him. Unfortunately, it is not in the best shape, it would require extensive renovation works, especially at the inside part. The park surrounding the castle is also very beautiful, with secular trees and a small lake (clogged, unfortunately). On the estate there is a beautiful guesthouse, in a separate building, near the castle.See more..
