Sector 1, Administrative sector in northern Bucharest, Romania.
Sector 1 is an administrative division in northern Bucharest with major transportation arteries, financial centers, and government buildings that shape the urban fabric. The area combines business districts, residential neighborhoods, and public facilities that structure daily life for its residents.
Sector 1 emerged in 1926 when Bucharest reformed its municipal administration by adopting a new sectoral division system. This restructuring established the foundation for the city's modern administrative organization.
Multiple theaters, museums, and educational institutions shape the educational landscape of Sector 1, including the University of Bucharest central buildings.
Visitors and residents can rely on a dense network of public transportation and shopping options throughout this area. The flat terrain and wide streets make navigation straightforward, especially in the central parts.
The largest concentration of green spaces in the city is located here, led by Herăstrău Park spanning 187 hectares and adjacent Băneasa forests. These green belts make the area surprisingly open and natural despite its urban functions.
