Sector 4 is one of Bucharest's six administrative sectors rather than a separate city, covering the southern part of the capital. It is largely residential, with socialist-era housing estates and the Văcărești area to the south.
The Văcărești Nature Park, an abandoned communist-era reservoir project that flooded and rewilded into a substantial urban wetland with its own wildlife, is within the sector and is genuinely unusual. The parliament building and the historic centre lie just north in the neighbouring sectors.
Metro lines and trams cross the sector and connect to the centre. The nature park is walkable once reached, and the housing districts are spread out.
Late spring and early autumn are the most comfortable and best for the wetland. Summers are hot and dusty, and winters are cold with snow.
Romania uses the RON, calling code +40.
Romania uses the leu rather than the euro, and Romanian is the everyday language with English spoken by younger people. Cards are accepted almost everywhere.
