Brasília |
Brasília is a singular city. It was built in the middle of nothing and inaugurated
in less than four years. Only these facts would be enough to make evident that the capital of Brazil has a history, a least, different from all
the other tourism spots of Brazil.
As if it wasn’t enough, Brasília also has the most different monuments. No
antiquities or constructions from other centuries, but quite the contrary. The sinuous shapes and the dynamic and daring lines of most buildings
give a special characteristic to the city. It’s amazing how the concrete was molded, inspiring a futuristic sensation on those who stares the
architectonical set.
The shape of the city is also irreverent, with a shape of a plane and with no
crossings, allows tourists to go through it easily. However, it’s practically impossible to know it by foot, due to the distance between the
tour spots. It’s indicated to rent a car, since buses takes long routes.
Registered as Mankind Heritage by UNESCO, it has two main access ways. Eixo
Monumental is where Congresso Nacional, Palácio do Planalto and Supremo Tribunal Federal buildings are located, among others. Eixo Rodoviário
takes visitors to the residential sector of the city. Approximately 90 embassies are placed in Brasília, which also has a people originated from
the mix of people from the most varied places. Such mix is also reflected in the city gastronomy, which has influence of typical food of brazilian
savanna and also from the european cuisine in a profusion of flavors.
But it does not have only concrete. Besides Paranoá Lake, one of the biggest
artificial lakes ever constructed, the metropolis and its surroundings has green areas, like Parque Nacional and Parque da Cidade. Those who
want to know Chapada dos Veadeiros disembark at the international airport to, then, take a bus to the neighbor cities of the park, inhabited by
mystics from all around the world.
Besides being constructed to be grandiose, with imposing monuments, it’s a calm
city, where calmness reigns, with streets usually empty, especially in the weekends. But don’t think that there’s no nightlife in the city.
Even with fame of peaceful, Brasília has bars and nightclubs very frequented by tourists and local residents. More than a simple destination for
business trips, more and more it gets consolidated as cultural and entertainment nucleus of Brazil. Obviously, it will always be ideal for the
realization of great events, with Convention and Exhibition Centers and auditoriums.
