The Best Places to Visit in Suceava
Fortress of Suceava
- A chain of fortifications was constructed throughout Moldavia in the fourteenth century as the Ottoman Empire's threat increased.
- Prince Petru II of Moldavia was responsible for their construction, and his successors strengthened the castle in Suceava throughout the ensuing centuries.
- The moat and the current impenetrable defensive walls, which survived a barrage by Mehmed the Conqueror in the 15th century, were constructed by Stephen III.
- Nonetheless, the Fortress of Suceava finally fell to the Ottomans in 1675 when a garrison of Polish Cossacks was overpowered, and the explosion subsequently demolished the complex.
- With dilapidated but formidable walls, visible remnants of the princes' chambers, storage spaces, a chapel, and a huge hall for the royal council, it endures high on its plateau as a symbol of Moldavian resistance.
Painted Monasteries of Bukovina
- Suceava County is home to several cultural treasures related to Romania.
- None are more than 60 kilometres away, but most need a drive.
- They all have stunning Byzantine architecture and outside walls covered in murals that have retained their life and vibrancy since the 16th century.
- All eight are worthwhile and may be completed independently or as part of guided trips.
- Voronet Monastery, located 30 kilometres to the southwest, must be the one you choose if you have to choose just one.
- This monastery's paintings, created in 1547, depict scenarios like the Last Judgment and the Ladder of St. John and are still vibrant today.
Muzeul Satului Bucovinean (Bukovina Village Museum)
- Without leaving Suceava, you may experience rural life in the Bukovina region at this outdoor museum that features many authentic historical structures.
- They contain various homes in various designs, an iron forge, a water mill, and farms, all of which have been transported from communities in the surrounding area of Bukovina.
- A wooden Vama village wooden church built for the first time in 1783 may be the most charming sight.
- It was brought here in 2001 along with a different belfry, and by 2009 it had been fully restored.
- The water mill, built in 1870 at the Humorului Monastery and has a working wheel and machinery for grinding grains into flour for wheat and maise, is also a delight.

Dragomirna Monastery
- This church, 15 kilometres from Suceava and built at the beginning of the 17th century after the painted monasteries, has a much more stern and combative appearance.
- Dragomirna was erected when Ottoman assaults were frequent, which explains its buttresses and high, plain defensive walls with arrow loops at the top. Dragomirna is nestled within oak and coniferous slopes.
- The church they conceal is built in the Byzantine and Gothic styles, and these towers are the tallest in the Bukovina region.
- The interior contains vaults with rib vaults in the western style, while the outside walls have the same blind semi-circular arches as the painted monasteries.
- The inside of this building contains frescoes in the chancel and nave and a museum with magnificent mediaeval liturgical artefacts.

- Tripe soup is known as ciorba de burta. This hearty soup's primary flavour source is the potent tripe or bones of cattle, lamb, or both.
- Tripe is properly cleaned before being cooked so that it is Lilly-white. A variety of tasty vegetables are then added to the saucepan.
- The veggies are frequently included intact to flavour the soup.
- Over time, the tripe and the veggies are taken out, strained, chopped, and put back in. Several of the Romanians' favourite local veggies are typically used. Carrots, celery, onions, and parsnips are a few of these.
Ciorba Radauteana (Radauti Soup)
#Food
- Sour soups, often known as ciorbe, are particularly common in Romania. A delectable, creamy soup from the north called Radauti Soup is named after the place it was created: Radauti.
- Lemon and garlic, prevalent in the creamy broth of Ciorba Radauteana, provide the dish's culinary magic.
- Romanian soups have a wide variety of meat. The ideal meat for Radauti soup is a delicate chicken breast or two thighs.
- Vegetables of many varieties can be used. Carrots, celery, parsnips, onions, and other vegetables are typically used in the Radauti recipe in Romania.

Mici / Mititei (Romanian Meat Rolls)
#Food
- Mititei, a lovely word in and of itself that means "little ones," have been cooking on grills and open fires in Romania for decades.
- The massive amount of ingredients used in the making of Mititei is what gives it its explosive flavour.
- To begin with, ground beef, lamb, and pork are all combined. Baking soda (bicarb) is added to the mititei/mici. Once a strong meat base has been established, the mixture is liberally spiced.
- The Romanian mititei contains a variety of delicious flavours. They include paprika, coriander, garlic, and thyme.
- Once the mixture is flavorful, it is rolled into sausage-shaped cylinders and frequently refrigerated to rest the next day. They are then popped without any casing directly onto a grill.
- According to lore, The first Romanian mititei were prepared by a chef who was out of sausages in Lipscani, Bucharest. He just rolled out the filling and placed it on the grill to satisfy his customers.
- Mititei pairs perfectly with a portion of warm, crispy fries and a few pickles. Very tasty.
Sarmale (Cabbage Rolls or Stuffed Vine Leaves)
#Food
- Sarmales are little, deliciously flavoured beef and rice pockets wrapped in cabbage leaves.
- The Ottoman Empire is where the idea of wrapping food in leaves first emerged. Sarmale has a long culinary history in several Balkan and Middle Eastern nations.
- Most of the time, Romanian sarmale is consumed during major events like weddings and holidays.
- The main component of Romania's adaptation of this well-known dish is sour cabbage. Other nations have employed a variety of leaves, such as grape leaves and pickled cabbage.
- The rich filling, made of ground pork, rice, and caramelised onions, goes incredibly well with the soft, sour cabbage.
- Sarmale can be consumed separately or as a component of a bigger dish.

#Fashion

- In the Bucharest complex, 90% of the brands are also available.
- The investment's overall worth is estimated to be 35 million euros.
- The Brașov retail complex, which was once well-liked because of its proximity to the train station, appears to have lost the war against newly constructed malls elsewhere in the city in 2019.
Scocul Urzicarului
#Fun
- On DN 66 A, travelling from Petrosani in the direction of Cîmpusel, you may reach Scocul Urzicarului by passing through the cities of Lupeni, Vulcan, Uricani, Valea de Brazi, and Cîmpul lui Neag.

- Haystacks are almost always present here. Scoc begins there, at a location known as the Field of the Lamb.
- The path travels through the arid gorges and the dry valley created by the Uricaru creek.
- The journey brings the traveller to two rocky thresholds that must be crossed cautiously after passing a clearing that opens atypically along the way.
