Sector 6 is one of Bucharest's six administrative sectors rather than a separate city, covering the western part of the capital. It is largely residential, mixing socialist-era housing blocks with newer development, and holds several university campuses.
The sector itself is residential, and the city's landmarks lie to the east in the centre. The enormous parliament building sits on the sector's edge, and the large Drumul Taberei park and lakes are the main local green space.
A metro line runs through the sector and connects to the centre, supplemented by trams and buses. Distances are substantial and the housing estates are laid out on a scale that assumes public transport.
Late spring and early autumn are the most comfortable. Summers on the Wallachian plain are hot and dusty, and winters are cold with periods of snow.
Romania uses the RON, calling code +40.
Romania uses the leu rather than the euro, and Romanian is the everyday language with English widely spoken by younger people. Card payment is accepted almost everywhere.
