palacio do planalto

Palácio do planalto is a great place to visit. It is interesting and full of art master pieces and the architecture is brilliant. It is worth visiting the palace but I tell you it is not the most beautiful and intersting one there.

So, this is where the president of Brasil Works, just go and enjoy the architecture, I recommend not to say a word of politics with the locals

Like walking inside a spaceship, the planetarium overlooks the national stadium contrasting in its surreal outer worldliness with the stolidity of the stadium

I have been fascinated by the story of Brasilia since I was a small child. The amazing modern architecture does not disappoint, it's truly the only reason to go to Brasilia but a full day private tour is so worthwhile.

One of those interesting architectal buildings that makes Brasilia famous. As the centre of power of Brasil, a must see, to remember any time you see fotos of Brasilia. Not extrodinary but interesting.

I visited this place on a Sunday during October 2013. The entry is free and you have to wait outside in the line and then seated in chain to enter. There are no English tours. It is a decent place to spend a morning (Sunday) getting to know of Brazilian presidents, Oscar Niemeyer works, Chairs, Sofas, Ramps, Arts and meeting rooms around! The last office room you will be taken to is of the President's. When you are leaving you will get a small souvenir, a couple of post cards of the Palacio do Planalto and leaflet about Palacio. Recommend to anyone that visit Brasilia and has lot of time (weekend) to spend in the city.

Nice guided visit to the Presidential Palace, in this wonderful Oscar Niemeyer project. Visit all Sunday morning, from 9:30AM. Probably you will see the change of the guard.

There are no English tours. All our guide did was point to furniture and rooms and say: ”this was designed by Oscar Niemeyer. This room accommodates up to 700 people. This is where Dilma Roussef works”. No historic facts or facts at all? I was expecting more.

There is no doubt the exterior of this edifice is still appeals but it is inside that one marvels. Was worth the short wait to take the free tour on Sunday morning.From the foyers to the stairwell, there is plenty inside to please any architecture buff.Would love some of the furniture at home !

You can take guided tours for free that are totally worth it. Beside Niemeyer, you can also see some interesting pieces of furniture designed by him and by other famous Brazilian architectures

Every wednesday, guided tours to the residence of Brazil's president's! It worth the visit, specially if there are lines(most of the time)!

This is another work by Oscar Niemeyer, but not my favorite. We did not go inside, but it can be equally appreciated from the outside. This is were President Dilma Roussef has her offices and she was working there when we visited.

As most Niemayer's works this is a beautiful building, but not Ractical to work in! The guided tours (as in all other public buildings of the monumental axis) are surprisingly nice!

If you are in Brasilia you have to see it. After all it is the Brazilian equivalent to the White House or the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires.

We, Brazilians, are usually not very proud of our politicians. But we should be proud of the building that houses the offices of the President of Brazil. It is a remarkable building designed by Oscar Niemeyer and a must-see attraction to those who visit Brasília.
