Brasília

Brasília, the capital of Brazil, stands out as a unique and modern city, unlike any other in the country. Designed by famed architect Oscar Niemeyer and urban planner Lúcio Costa, the city was built in the 1960s with a bold, futuristic layout that resembles an airplane from above. Its wide avenues, monumental architecture, and organized sectors reflect a vision of urban innovation. Highlights include the Cathedral of Brasília, the Palácio do Planalto, and the National Congress building. As a political and administrative hub, Brasília offers a different experience from Brazil’s coastal cities, with a calm atmosphere, striking design, and a growing cultural scene.
