Brasilia, Brazil

Off the Beaten Path in Brasilia

The real Brasilia lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find the authentic character, the unmarked restaurants, and the quiet corners that make a city worth knowing.

Brasilia is the modernist capital of Brazil, designed from scratch in the 1950s by Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa. Walking its monumental axis and futuristic government buildings is like exploring a city-sized architectural exhibition.
