Bucovina, located in northern Romania, is a region of about 10,000 km, documented for the first time in 1774 is among the most attractive and popular tourist areas of Romania. Today, the region is divided: the northern part belongs to Ukraine and the southern part to Romania.

Here are 5 reasons for you to visit Bucovina:

1. The Old Monasteries

In this region are the most beautiful and most representative monasteries. They are unique in the world by their architecture that characterizes the glory era of Moldavia by their exterior painting. The monasteries in Bucovina are part of the Unesco patrimony, being included UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1993.
