Itinerary
Enjoy a day trip to one of the most beautiful regions in the country. Discover the wilderness of the Carpathians, the fresh air, the wonderful mountain landscapes and the serenity of this area. You will start with a visit to Neamţ Monastery, the oldest monastic establishment for monks which shelters an impressive, well-preserved library. Nor far is Neamt Fortress – important military and historical fortification that survived the siege of Sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople. You will take a stroll up the hill and enjoy the beautiful view offered from this impressive fort. You will continue with a one of a kind experience: a visit to the bison reserve in Neamt.
Your journey continues with a visit to Agapia Monastery, not only a charming religious site and a great tourist attraction but also an important center of promoting traditional crafts. Be amazed by the picturesque traditional villages where time seems to be standing still. The locals still use horse-drawn carts and prepare food above an open fire with ingredients from their backyard.
Witness their vivid tapestry of old customs, handicrafts, and folklore by visiting Nicolae Popa Museum. You will have the opportunity to study the symbols of the national costumes. Try on the traditional costumes and take pictures so you will have some one-of-a-kind souvenirs!

About Iași
Iași is the cultural capital of Moldavia in north-eastern Romania, a hilly university city of grand churches, monasteries and a neo-Gothic palace.
Iași was the capital of Moldavia for three centuries, until the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia were united in 1862, and it still has the feel of a capital. The Palace of Culture, a neo-Gothic building completed in 1925, houses several museums, and the Church of the Three Hierarchs is wrapped in carved stone patterns. The Alexandru Ioan Cuza University is the oldest modern university in Romania.
