We recommend spending a night in Chernitzsi, so you can enjoy a walking tour of the Old Town, followed by a visit to the UNESCO-listed National University of Chernivtsi.

The UNESCO-listed National University of Chernivtsi is at the top of the list. This magnificent complex was the ensemble of the former Residence of Metropolitans of Bukovina and Dalmatia. The buildings are absolutely fascinating and gorgeous and the whole place is a true 19th century jewel, with both Byzantine and Moorish architecture. Within the Old Town, you can visit the city hall, Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, the Armenian Church, the Basilica of the Exaltation of the Cross, the Music and Drama Theater, and the botanical garden. As for museums, you can check out the Art Museum, Local History and Folk Museum, or The Chernivtsi Museum of the History and Culture of Bukovinian Jews.
