Delight! A place worthy of visiting. The Fortress of Suceava is a 14th-century fortification! It was destroyed in the 17th century and restored in the 20th and 21st centuries. The white stripe on the fortress walls is to distinguish the restoration works from the original that remained intact. Today you can see the fortress almost the same as it was five centuries ago - with a drawbridge, a paved courtyard, a chapel and even a bathhouse. Each hall is decorated thematically and shows different aspects of the life of that time. The interactivity brings some kind of mystical feeling of immersion ... The observation decks offer a beautiful view of the city of Suceava. The child was impressed and did not want to leave. I want to return.

They've done a good job revamping the old fortress and even making the attempt to organize a museum inside with mixed results in my opinion. Be sure to come here with good shoes, you will have to walk up a hill a considerable amount of steps, take a path that can be quite muddy depending on the weather and when you reach the fortress itself there are a few stairs to climb as well The ticket is cheap for what is offered, be sure to take the combo including the visit to the Village Museum which is just en route to the citadel Among the highlights are the pictures you can take of the nearby area. The museum features text in both English and Romanian so foreigners interested in history have a chance to explore the past of Moldova

One of the best fortresses in the country. It was rehabilitated a few years ago. There is lots of information available, including video. It is equipped with mannequin soldiers, weapons, paintings, furniture, etc. I gave it only 4* because of the gift shop, which was closed for the day because "the shopkeeper didn't come to work".

We loved visiting this historic restoration of the fortress to learn about the history and culture of this Bukovina region. Easy and quick getaway when near Suceava, Romania.

Nice place to visit and go back in time with the stories told there.

The fortress is well preserved even with so many years of communism administration. Unfortunately for me, the site was closed for maintanance / construction work without being displayed on the internet. I have traveled 250 km in order to visit it from the outside. 🙂

Cool castle, looks like one of those Scottish fortresses from the movies, currently there's reconstruction around the castle, the time to finish is 2026, you can visit the inside but not its moat.

The setting is really impressive, giving you a tangible sense of the past. Unfortunately, not all of the interactive devices were functioning during our visit, which was a bit of a letdown. Despite this, the fortress itself is intriguing enough to keep you engaged and it's worth a visit for those interested in history and a nice view of the city surroundings.

It's an interesting place to visit. Perfect to spend time with family and friends during the summer holidays. There's a car park nearby, about 10-15 minutes walking distance (it's more like a field used for a car park) next to the cemetery.

Magnificent historical castle. Everyone should visit and give respect this 500 years old history. Also, the statue of Stefan Cel Mare is phenomenal. Highly recommended

Be sure to visit the village too. 20 Lei for an adult for the village and fortress is an immense value. It is super interesting and fun to explore both areas.

The fortress of Suceava ia the most important touristic place in the city centre. It's an historical monument worthwhile visiting. Well organised and modernised, interactive for the kids and an easy way to learn more about our history. There are two ways of getting there, you can either parked in the city centre under park area and walk through the forest all the way till you get to the fortress, or you can drive directly to the fortress and park there ( free parking lot). During the summer, in august there's the Medieval Festival where people from all over the country gather together and put together a lot of activities and acts for a whole week ( definitely check it out) Also nearby is the Village Museum that represents how the houses used to look like and how people used to live.

If you are in Suceava - visit this citadel for sure. Magnificent and impressive, a real stronghold with splendid veiws on the city,.

great fortress, very well-maintained. felt like stepping back in time. the only problem is that you can only pay with cash at the souvenir shop

Visited on an overcast day. Historical place to visit not too far from the centre of town. Goods views overlooking Suceava and surrounding areas. Great to admire the architecture with some exhibition rooms. Inexpensive to enter. The Bukovina Museum village is right next door. Parking is free I believe.

Maybe my expectations were a bit off, but after visiting it, I was a little disappointed. Mostly because I wanted more stories about the fortress itself and what was life in and around it. But instead I got some generic info about the fortress and a lot of generic history lessons. Then again, maybe that was all the data that survived through the ages. Another minus is that I tried to follow the numeric doors, but as much as I searched, i missed one. A better map of the expo and fortress would do wonders. So would a person that can fix all the technical glitches with the sound from the movies and slideshows. And maybe turn on the off projectors. Nonetheles, it is a beautiful citadel. A part of our history that many wanted to erase and few sacrificed their resources to preserve it. Still, the caters should focus more on the touristic possibilities and less on doing a sloppy job of promoting its beauty.

Great place to visit if you are interested in romanian History.

Good atmosphere during the Medieval Festival. Well restaured building and nice reanactement shows.

Great place, nice ruins of a fortress, with great history starting around 1400. Worth visiting!!

Well, nice view, some historic well-preserved walls. Exhibitions rather average. Nevertheless, the place is worth a visit.

Great place to visit! Its reconstruction is a well-done job. If in Suceava don't miss it!

It is a reconstructed variant of the old fortress. There are still some reconstruction going on at the moment. For a gateway with he family it is a nice place and there you can swith to other places to see in the neighborhood.

Magnificent place, restored fortress of Stefan cel Mare. Payed entrence very well worth paying. You got shows as well if you like more entertaining stuff.

If it’s our history 5 stars The tickets are cheap, the fortress is renovated, a lot of rooms to visit and many panels and audio/video informations.. A good way to understand a little history

A wonderful surprise. We arrived earlier to the airport so we decided to visit the fortress. Newly reconstructed with a lot of care for details! We will surely come back.

Excellent sightseeing attraction, offers great views at any time of the day, very well kept and curated, was great fun for both the parents and the 3 year old. Careful with getting there. We took the forest trail from McDonalds and I do not recommend it if it's muddy and you do not have the appropriate shoes for it. The prices for the fortress are very low, there a place to eat at the ticket house, and the whole thing takes around 1-2 hours to visit.

We had the privilege of walking into a beautiful medieval setting but with a twist: They were hosting a play (theater) with the amazing Maia Morgenstern (no extra charge)

I have been here right before the final restoration, years ago. Upon my return in Sept 2022 I was simply amazed by what I have found. A fun, entertaining, engaging and especially educational place. I recommend to absolutely all tourists to stop by, romanians or non romanians. This place deserves more promotion!

The fortress has been restored and is on good shape. The price is ok. There are many rooms to visit inside plus views over the city. The small plays with re-enacters make the experience better. Do not miss the halls and exhibitions in the lower levels.

Cetatea de Scaun The seat of Suceava, with its first historical attestation in 1476, is a living piece of Romanian history. It is a perfect place to bring children if you want them to see and learn history. The fortress is newly renovated and equipped with technology to help you better understand the history of this place.

Renovated recently.Video projectors în all rooms.Audio explanations too.Super clean toilet inside.Probably the largest citadel in România..The info presented în the recordings is very interesting.

A very beautiful medieval fortress, very well kept, and totally worth visiting.

Great place to visit in Suceava; interesting information about Stefan the Great, many others historical figures and about medieval history.

Fully restored this Castle is a must see in Romania. Why? It was never defeated!

Well maintained, clean, renewed. Keep up the good work. One of the best restored fortresses in Romania

Excellent job to restore some of the old glimps in this medieval city! I loved to see the sunset while being in the castle and the night lights! Good tour for kids too, plenty of holograms and explanations.
