Brasilia, Brazil

Brasilia is located on the Goias Plateau in central Brazil, surrounded by the state of Goias, and is situated in the triangular area formed by the confluence of the Maranhao and Verde rivers. Here are some recommended tourist attractions in Brasilia: Historical Buildings - Three Powers Square: One of Brazil's iconic buildings and the political center of Brazil, located on the central axis of the city, surrounded by many buildings such as the House of Representatives, Senate, National Supreme Court, and Presidential Palace. The flag-raising and lowering ceremony held every two weeks attracts many tourists.  - National Congress Building: One of the most representative buildings in Brasilia, designed by the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer. The building consists of two intersecting circular and square structures, with the hemispherical top contrasting sharply with the rectangular bottom, creating a unique visual effect.  - Presidential Palace: The official residence of the head of state of Brazil, known for its simple and futuristic design. The building's exterior features smooth lines, combining natural elements with modern materials, reflecting the architectural philosophy of Brasilia.  Religious and Cultural Sites - Brasilia Cathedral: Designed by Niemeyer, the design features 16 white concrete columns symbolizing the 12 apostles of Jesus and the four gospel authors, forming an umbrella-shaped roof. The interior of the cathedral is bathed in light through stained glass windows, creating a dreamy atmosphere.  - Blue Church: Also known as the Cathedral of St. Bosco, the main building of the church is blue in appearance, with exquisite interior decorations, full of religious art atmosphere, and is one of the important religious sites and tourist attractions in Brasilia.  Natural Scenery - Brasilia National Park: A pristine natural oasis located in the city center, with crystal-clear natural pools and lush vegetation, is a great place to connect with nature and relax.  - Paranoa Lake: A large artificial lake built in Brasilia, with a winding shoreline and beautiful scenery, is a great place for leisurely walks and enjoying the lake and mountain views, as well as boating, windsurfing, and other water activities.  City Views - Brasilia TV Tower: Built in 1967, originally 218 meters high, it was raised to 224 meters in 1987, making it the tallest building in Brasilia and the fourth tallest iron tower in the world. Visitors can take a free elevator to the 75-meter-high observation deck for a panoramic view of Brasilia.  - JK Memorial: Built in memory of former Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek, the museum displays a large number of historical artifacts, photos, and materials related to President Kubitschek, and the architecture and gardens outside the museum are also distinctive, making it a great place to learn about Brazilian history and culture.
