Brasilia - Where to Go and When

Brasilia is by right considered to be one of the best places in Brazil which we advise you to visit, in case you travel Brazil. The city of Brasilia is not only the capital of the country but also the very place which will tell you a lot about architecture of Brazil and art in Brazil. Brasilia's location is not occasional, it's situated far off country's political centers Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Before you plan your travel, it's necessary to mention that it's rather difficult to travel Brazil on your own. There is a great variety of different tours around Brazil, that's why we suggest that you choose one for your liking, which will include visiting the city of Brasilia. You should also think properly about the season you want to choose for you tour. In case you doubt, we suggest that you make sure that you are aware of climate and weather in Brazil and namely in Brasilia. The period from May to August is the best period for visiting Brasilia as far as it's 100% dry season. September is considered to be the hottest month and July is the coolest. If you want to visit Brasilia within its dry season, we suggest that you drink a lot of water and use both skin and lips protector.

One more reason to visit Brasilia when you travel Brazil is the fact that it's a perfect example of unique modern Brazilian architecture. This is an ideal place for those who aim at cultural pastime and aesthetic delight because there are many admirable churches, historical buildings and monuments, parks and theatres.

The first place we suggest that you see without fail, in case you visit Brasilia, is Cathedral Metropolitana Nossa Senhora Aparecida which was designed by chief architect Oscar Niemeyer who projected almost all administrative and public buildings in the city of Brasilia. The Cathedral can seem to be surprisingly small at first sight as far as all rooms of this bright, fascinating and imposing church are placed underground and on the ground you will see only its cupola made of concrete and stained glass. Walls and floors inside the Cathedral are made of white marble with glass ceilings and altar is decorated with Christ's image. In front of the cathedral statues of four apostles are places.

In case you travel Brazil and Brasilia is on the list of your destinations, we suggest that besides Cathedral Metropolitana Nossa Senhora Aparecida you also visit Igreja Nossa Senhora de Fatima which means "Our Lady of Fatima Church", Palacio do Planalto, Teatro Nacional Claudio Santoro and Brasilia National Park and make sure that Brasilia was included on a list of UNESCO World Heritage not occasionally.
