Brasilia

Brasilia was constructed by the country’s leading architects, Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa, in the 1950s to replace Rio as Brazil’s capital city – which it did in 1960. That, however, doesn’t mean the city’s design has been well thought-out – it hasn’t! To be fair, Brasilia was intended as the administrative capital of Brazil, a function it serves well to this day. However, the city’s planners had not taken into consideration any private enterprise existing in Brasilia. Consequently, all of the architects’ good intentions went out of the window and the city is little more than a sprawling mess of modern building design. As such a new city, the city also lacks from having any real claim to heritage. All in all, then, Brasilia is certainly worth a visit if you have the time, but if your time is restricted, go to all the other places first!
