The village is home to several museums and historic sites, including the Museum of Icons and Frescoes, which showcases a collection of religious artifacts and artwork from the region. Visitors can also visit the nearby village of Marginea, known for its traditional black pottery, or take a day trip to the stunning Painted Monasteries of Bukovina, a series of UNESCO-listed monasteries decorated with exquisite frescoes.
But perhaps the true marvel of Sucevita lies in its warm and welcoming people. The locals are known for their hospitality and their dedication to preserving their unique customs and traditions.
