    Well, if you have a lot of time to stay in Brazil will be interesting to visit this "new" city created in the 60's by the Brazilian president Juscelino Kubitschek, with hands of the architect Oscar Niemeyer. But if you wish to have a relax holiday in the Beach I would recommend some other places like Rio, Maceio, Fortaleza, Natal and many others...

    I am more of a nature lover so I tend to go to Brazil's finest beaches which can offer and can assure travelers with the best relaxation spot and comfortable place. Not only that, the country's environment is suitable for tourist who wants to explore the place which is haven and visible of one's eye.

    Yes, if you are into architecture you will see quite a lot there. The whole layout is also interesting based on the different "wings" that various departments have been placed. It is where most government offices are focused. Nightlife and social life there is also interesting. The University of Brasilia is famous there as well.

    Did you know that Catedral Metropolitana, another awesome structure by the award-winning architect Oscar Niemeyer, is a landmark cathedral featuring stunning interior glasswork. This is definitely a must-see !!!
