Few people consider the possibility of traveling to Brasília. The capital, the
artificial city, the mecca of urbanism, created and built in the middle of
20th century, it is very far from the beaches, but there are enough things to see in
Brasília and that justify a trip.

What to visit and do in Brasilia
If you like architecture, you don't even need to ask if you should know the
country's capital. Brasília is a contemporary architectural monument,
if from an invented city.

National Museum and Cathedral of Brasília
Arriving in the city, the first image already puts before your eyes many
of the buildings to visit in Brasília and among the first views that
if you have the city it is the esplanade of the ministries, but in front it is called
pay attention to the national museum and the cathedral of Brasília, both works of
Niemeyer.

The national museum is a half-white sphere that seems to grow from the ground,
while the metropolitan cathedral impresses from the outside with its
triangular shape with curved bars, but that's when you enter
in which the jaw drops and the neck is dislocated when looking up.
The crystal is responsible for filling the spaces left by the columns and
allow external light to pass through, sieved with bluish colors and
beautiful and surprising designs. Mainly on sunny days.

Powers with sculpture tribute to the candangos, the city's builders
who migrated from other states and are the basis of its mixed population
like everything else in the country.
Praça dos Três Poderes shows what Brazil does not want to forget:
its roots. Continuing further, you also pass by the people's memorial
indigenous people.

television tower
On the other side of the metro train station is the television tower – the old one,
because there is a new one outside the city – which acts as a viewpoint.
It's free to climb to the top of the platform and that's when you almost make it

all over the capital and is the perfect place to discover the places to see in
Brasilia.

Don Bosco Sanctuary
Saint John Melchior Bosco had a dream of a city of the future among the
15th and 20th parallels in the southern hemisphere with a large lake... It's subtle, but for
For some, the city of Brasília is the city of Dom Bosco's dream in 1883.
so that his sanctuary is a building worthy of those you should visit.

Murano.

Monumental axis of Brasilia
There is no distinction between the different ministries in Brazil: they all have the
same building. Perfect gray orthopedros with large windows.
Once you have passed the National Congress, you arrive at the giant square of the three
powers, surrounded by buildings designed by Oscar Niemeyer: both
buildings of Congress, the Senate and the towers in between, such as the Palace of
Plateau and the supreme court building.

Church of Good Will
Brasília has everything, from a huge statue of a cyclist to Buddhist temples
Japanese, passing through Catholic and evangelical churches, even a temple
multi-religious: the temple of Good Will, the temple of the Legion of Good Will.
If the metropolitan cathedral is an impressive building, the temple of Boa
Will is not far behind with the seven-faced open pyramid shape.
It is 21 meters high and, at the opening point of the seven faces, contains a
pure crystal weighing 21 kilos, the largest in the world. It is a spiritual center open to
any religion and a tourist attraction in itself, it is the most visited monument
in the city – despite being a little out of the center and close to the
municipality of Asa Sul, you have to include it on your list of what to see in Brasília.

Inside this place, a path is made in the middle of the pyramid, which frees those who
get rid of your stress, tension, rush and it is still a place to meditate
as you approach the exact point where the crystal is. Furthermore, the
temple is a museum with objects donated by all countries and confessions
religions in the world.

Who could imagine that a city with more than two and a half million
inhabitants are in a place where sixty years ago there was nothing? It was the
president JK, Juscelino Kubitschek, who ordered the construction of one of the cities

most tourist attractions in Brazil and which is one of the most visited options to discover
a little more of the country and architecture.
