One of the youngest country capitals of the world is Brasília. Inaugurated only 53 years ago, this city was designed by the architect Lucio Costa, who made a pilot plan, which also named the central part of the city: Plano Piloto.
The public buildings, as the National Congress, the Planalto Palacy, the Ministries esplanade and the Cathedral, were designed by Oscar Niemeyer, a world known urbanist and planner.

Also known as the Capital of Hope, Brasília is considered a Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO - United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural. It means all monuments, buildings and sites in "Plano Piloto" has historical, aesthetic, archaeological, scientific, ethnological or anthropological values and must be preserved, in order to allow the legacy we have received from the past and live in the present be transmitted to future generations.
Inaugurated in only 4 years by the President Juscelino Kubitsckek, this city is the fourth most populous of the country, with more than two million inhabitants.
Brasília has many places to visit and appreciate, and also places of entertainment . For example, the Bank of Brazil Cultural Center, where the most important exhibitions of works and cinema in Brasilia are presented, from great artists to alternative cinema.

Moreover, there are other sights worth visiting such as the Metropolitan Cathedral, a catholic church, the National Theatre, where the most important plays are presented, the Multisport Center Ayrton Senna, stage of the soccer world championship, the Alvorada Palacy, where the President of Brazil lives, and many others.
My favorite place in Brasília is "Pontão", located in South Lake. A place known for being a special gastronomic center of the city, gathering six of the best restaurants of the town, from where we can observe a wonderful view of the lake and the bridges. The vibration is kind of beach, and people often go there to have fun and to enjoy time with family and friends.
Beyond the sights, the capital of Brazil has many places to go out, such as cinemas, restaurants, cafes, parks, and some walktrails and waterfalls. It's a beautiful city, and a good place to live.
