12 days in Brasilia Itinerary

Although it lacks the cultural flair of Rio de Janeiro and the massive urban sprawl of Sao Paulo, Brasilia holds a fascinating place in the tapestry of Brazil.

Venture out of the city with trips to Igreja Nossa Senhora Da Penha De Franca (in Corumba de Goias), Brazlandia (Santuario Menino Jesus & Chapada Imperial) and Casa Dom Inacio de Loyola (in Abadiania). The adventure continues: admire the striking features of Catedral Metropolitana, take in the views from Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge, ponder the world of politics at Congresso Nacional, and stroll around Parque da Cidade Sarah Kubitschek.

To find where to stay, ratings, maps, and other tourist information, go to the Brasilia trip planning app.

In September, plan for daily highs up to 35°C, and evening lows to 19°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 28th (Sat) to allow enough time to travel back home.
