a city without a soul

unreal city where one has to have a car. No central downtown square, no metro, no bookshops, no walking around. the climate is good though, but thats an attribute of the region ( brazilian altiplano ) and not the city itself. architecture is 19602 neo brutalism. stark blocks of concrete, with scant regard for the aestetics of the natural cerrado grassland and forests. now its all soya fields all around. bY THE WAY THE CERRADO ecosystem itself is very charming, but thats what the city replaced, and is still replacing.

Brasilia

It is a very good place to live. With friendly people and job oportunities. The month of june is perfect to visit this city, the rain season is over but the weather is not so dry; This city get very dry in the following months according to my friends who live here.

Brasilia- capital of modernity

Brasilia epitomizes modernity- and the grand hopes and dreams of Brazil in the 1950's. Sure there isn't many touristy night clubs or attractions, but if your into architecture at all-you simply must make a pilgrimage to Brasilia! The weather is pleasant, people friendly and within the city much lower crime than Sao Paulo or Rio. Hire or rent a car to get around but while walking distances are duanting, there are often sidewalks. Be sure to visit the National Congress Buildings, Alvarado Palace and the National Cathedral. You only need a day or two at most- but this living architectural monument is worth getting off the beaten path.
