A Modernist Dream in the Heart of Brazil
Bold, futuristic, and full of symbolism, Brasília is unlike any other city in Brazil. As the nation’s capital, it’s a showcase of modernist architecture, urban planning, and political power—all set against vast skies and sweeping horizons in the heart of the country.
Why Visit?
Designed in the 1950s by urban planner Lúcio Costa and iconic architect Oscar Niemeyer, Brasília was built to represent Brazil’s future. Its layout resembles an airplane, with distinct sectors for government, living, culture, and commerce—making it a unique example of visionary city design.
Stroll through the Esplanada dos Ministérios, where impressive monuments like the National Congress, the Palácio do Planalto, and the Supreme Federal Court sit in perfect symmetry. Visit the striking Cathedral of Brasília, the curved beauty of the Itamaraty Palace, and the tranquil JK Memorial, honoring the city’s founder, President Juscelino Kubitschek.
Brasília also offers natural beauty, with lakes, parks, and sunset viewpoints that reveal the softer side of this structured city. And with a diverse mix of people from all over the country, it has become a cultural melting pot in its own right.
The Vibe
Brasília is visionary, peaceful, and full of contrast. It’s a place where architecture becomes art, and where calm spaces encourage reflection and inspiration. Whether you're into design, politics, or simply want to experience a city like no other, Brasília offers a quiet yet powerful look at Brazil’s past, present, and future.
