A sample of what you'll find
Bucovina — from the full guide
Bucovina
The painted monasteries of the north
Bucovina is the region where the Byzantine church, pushed north by the fall of Constantinople, invented something new: covering the outside walls of monasteries with floor-to-roof frescoes. Painting the entire Bible on the façade so that illiterate peasants could follow it the way you read a comic strip. They did it in the 16th century, with a technique so stable that half a millennium of Carpathian rain has not erased the blues.
The Voroneț blue — that unique cobalt found nowhere else in Christian art — was obtained with ground lapis lazuli and a secret the monks took to their graves. In front of it, the Last Judgement on the west wall covers the whole façade: heavens, hells, rivers of fire, saints with the faces of Moldavian peasants. It is not decorative art. It is theology within everyone's reach.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa for Romania? +

How many days do I need for Romania? +
A minimum of 8–10 days for Transylvania and Bucharest. 14–16 days if you add Maramureș, Bucovina and the Danube Delta — the three regions that really set Romania apart from the rest of Eastern Europe.
