How to get out Suceava
From here you can go to Dragomirna, by minibus or taxi or to Gura Humorului by both bus and train.
For Dragomirna Monastery there are also "maxi-taxi" (minibus) services from the center, for about 5 lei. The minibus 31 will take you at least to Mitocu Dragomirnei village. Only some go all the way to Dragomirna. It's better to ask a local which buses go to Dragomirna (it should be written on the bus but you never know). The station by the McDonalds in the city center as well as the one by Iulius Mall are stops for the 31 minibus.
The schedule is not published from the city center, but from the end of the line minibuses leave:
To Dragomirna: Weekdays: 6:30, 11:50, 16:30, 18:50, 20:20. Weekends: 6:50, 10:15, 14:50. Add about 10-15' from the center.
From Dragomirna: Weekdays: 5:40, 7:30, 12:50, 17:30, 19:30, 21:00, Weekends: 11:00, 15:30.
Some will recommend hitchhiking. There is a spot under the DN2 bridge 100m away from Suceava Nord station where normal people will wait for rides. To go to Dragomirna, they will ask for about 10 lei per person. A taxi would cost around 25 lei.
Destinations around Suceava include:
Falticeni, a cultural city at the border of Bukovina and Moldova, best reached by bus, but not the most interesting one for the foreign tourist. It can be reached by train (more visible schedules) but there's a 25km detour and you need to buy two tickets, one for CFR (to Dolhasca), one for Regiotrans (Dolhasca-Falticeni).
Vatra Dornei, a mountain town whose glory days were back during Austro-Hungarian rule. A revitalization is being attempted, with winter sports being the primary focus, followed by hiking trips. A good winter destination and easy to reach. There are 6 Accelerat and 2 Personal trains, taking about 2.5-3 hours.
Gura Humorului, possibly the most interesting town in Southern Bukovina, where Voronet and Humor monasteries are located (each about 6km from the center of the town). Just under a 1 hour train ride to reach Gura Humorului from Suceava.
Radauti can be reached daily by 5 Personal trains from Suceava, with a 1.5-2h journey time. It is close to a number of monasteries, including Arbore, Sucevita and Putna. There isn't much to do but it is a clean and quiet city suitable for rest and leisure activities.
Putna Monastery is served by 4 trains daily, about 3h journey from Suceava.
