Brasília Reseguide

Brasilia is the glass, steel, and concrete vision of a new regime that left a monarchy, corrupt republic, and police state dictatorship behind bringing the new government as well as the city into the modern era back in 1957. It took only four years and became the new capital. Tourists will find the resulting product of Brazil's best designers, artists, and architects both interesting and beautiful. The architecture is basically the only thing of interest worth seeing in the area. A four-hour architectural tour is offered by Bluepoint as well as a three-hour mystical tour. Visitors can also take a helicopter tour or a boat tour to see the lake or go to the top of the TV Tower for a bird's eye view of the city.
