From Bucharest, Ploiesti, Buzau and Focsani there are 4 Rapid, 1 Accelerat and 2 IC type trains. There is little difference between the IC and Rapid trains on the route. There is one night Accelerat and one Rapid train, both with couchettes and sleeping cars. Both offer seating in 1st and 2nd class as well. 2 Rapid trains continue to Suceava Nord station, 10 kilometers away from Dragomirna Monastery.

Average travel duration: 7 hours from Bucharest, 6hr from Ploiesti, 5 hours from Buzau and 3½ hours from Focsani

Travel on a Bus in Suceava

Suceava is a local transportation hub and there are many inbound connections from towns in the region such as Iasi and Bacau. There is also infrequent bus service to the border town of Siret. There is a daily bus from Chernivtsi (Ukraine) as well as some daily, but very early morning (between 05:00 and 06:00), buses to Bălţi and Chisinau in Moldova. The bus from Ukraine leaves Chernivtsi at 05:00 and 07:00 every morning, arriving in Suceava about 3-4 hours later. The same bus leaves Suceava in the afternoon (13:00?) reaching Chernivtsi early evening. Since this bus is used by ordinary Ukrainians who try to take with them (say smuggle) 1-2 cartons of cigarettes into Romania to sell for a small profit, expect some time to be spent at the border crossing into Romania. Tourists are unlikely to be searched thoroughly by Romanian customs officials. On the way back from Romania and the bus spends less time at the border crossing.

Busses use the central bus station in the heart of the town, which is not close to Suceava's train stations (the main one being Suceava and the minor being Suceava Nord). The central bus station is just up the hill from the mini-bus station, which has the best currency exchange rates in town. The central bus station also sits up the hill from a set of buildings, which includes the tourist bureau where you can buy train tickets. There are also infrequent services to Greece, Germany, England, Spain and Italy.

From Sighetul Marmatiei and there is one direct bus leaving at 09:04, arriving at 15:30 (Transagria), or you can take the Tur shuttle van leaving at 11:00 arriving at Falticeni at 16:30 (55 lei, September 2018) and then transfer to a frequent shuttle van across the road for the 30-min trip to Suceava (7 lei, September 2018).
