The main reason to come here is to visit two painted monasteries nearby. If you want to go by yourself, you can go to Voronet walking, it will take about 1 hour and half and the landscape is very nice. Voronet Monastery is known for its striking blue color and the depiction of Heaven and Hell. Humor Monastery Manastirea Humorului is not as well preserved as Voronet, but it has an impressive guard tower which you can scale for a nice view. Humor is also reachable by foot allow 1.5 hours. You can also take a maxitaxi large van/small bus to Manastirea Humorului. The maxitaxi leaves fairly regularly from the front of the Best Western hotel at the center of town. Keep in mind there is no sign for the maxitaxi and no schedule, just look for a group of people gathered in front of the hotel. The maxitaxi costs about 1 leu. Taxis are also available. One-way costs to either monastery should be 10-15 lei. For visiting the other monasteries, ask for information at the stand inside the Moldova Restaurant.
