Reasons To Visit Brasilia

Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, is best known for its modernist architecture and was built in the shape of a giant bird, making it one of the quirkier destinations around the globe. One of the first things you can do is head into the Three Powers Square and see the seats of Brazilian government – Congress, the Supreme Court and the Presidential Palace. If you fancy a break from the city atmosphere then escape into Paranoa Lake, a beautiful area with many cafés and restaurants by the lake. The city hosts many fascinating cultural events and festivals each year including many public art festivals out on the streets, so you will always find something interesting going on.

Arriving In Brasilia

Brasilia International Airport is the main airport serving the capital of Brazil primarily handling domestic and regional flights, although there are a few longer flights available at the airport.

The airport itself is set across two terminals, with Terminal 1 the base of international flights. Inside the airport you will find plentiful amenities and services including many restaurants, fast food outlets and cafés as well as extensive duty-free and retail shopping.
