The Painted Monasteries of Bucovina, Northeast Romania, Romania
5.0 (234 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Northeast Romania Religious Sites
100% worth the visit and learned a lot from Florin.
Great full day out with Florin. From the word go he accommodated our request to be picked up from accommodation and dropped off in time for our flight home. He was very welcoming and answered all our questions in depth. The monasteries are 100% worth going to see. The detail in all the paintings are incredible and as someone who isn't religious I learned a lot about Christian and local history. You also get to see the beautiful Romanian countryside, tradition Romanian wooden houses and we had added stops of black ceramic workshop and the biggest collection of painted eggs in the world.

Amazingly beautiful
These monasteries are seriously beautiful and everyone should visit them at least once in their life. I don't think I could choose a favourite they are all so wonderful. We had a chap by the name of George who drove us to them his price was extremely reasonable. Parking is close by most of the monestries.

Important part of romanian history
These monasteries are a must visit for anyone wanted a taste of the real romania. Dedicated by Stefan Cel Mare after victories in battle, they are covered in intricate and beautiful artwork. The paint used is a natural recipe that cannot be recreated, making them hard to maintain and protect. Despite this, they are beautiful and complex and the fading from the wind in some sense only makes them more interesting. There is also "graffiti" (carvings in the stone walls on some of the monasteries), some of them from over 200 years ago, that is interesting to see.
