Bucovina, Timișoara

45°46′11″N 21°12′53″E / 45.7696031°N 21.2148179°E / 45.7696031; 21.2148179 Bucovina is a residential neighborhood situated in the northern part of Timișoara, Romania. It is named after the homonymous street and features Ion Vidu Park, redeveloped in 2009 with a marine-themed landscape.[1] The design symbolizes a pod of whales surfacing in the ocean, which inspired the local nickname "Whale Park."[2]

Like other northeastern areas (e.g., Aradului, Torontalului), it was developed during the late communist era, with a construction push after 1980 to accommodate workers in major state-run factories.[3] The buildings are predominantly spacious apartment blocks, constructed under stricter post‑1977 earthquake standards for safety and comfort.[3]

Transport

The neighborhood is served by multiple express and standard bus lines including E1, E2, E6, and metro-style buses M41–M44, M50, all reaching stations within about 10–15 minutes' walk.[4]
