 The Urbanist Lúcio Costa, who designed Brasilia together with Oscar
Niemeyer, wrote in one of his letters about the city that “[...] the dream
   was less than the reality. The reality was bigger, more beautiful”.

               ABOUT THE CAPITAL
 In the year in which we celebrate 60 years since Brasilia’s Inauguration,
turns 60 years old, the capital's particularities are reinforced while design
 and art become its major attractions. The city, which had a great impact
 on the Brazilian architecture, was one of the first built without European
          references, being a genuinely Brazilian inventiveness.

"Take the tesourinha, go down the 200s, then
  the 400s, get the L2 and go all the way!".

Brasilienses believe that everyone is used to
the design and logic of the city. It turns out
that Brasilia is different. Other cities are divided
into streets, mostly with names, avenues and
neighborhoods.

For those who are doing a one-day trip in
Brasilia, practicality is the keyword to do and
see the most in a short time.

Start by having the best breakfast in town at B
Hotel. You will be amazed by our buffet and es-
pecially by the breads and pâtisserie produced
with natural fermentation at the hotel. In addi-
tion, products such as kefir, yogurt and other
organic products are also produced by us.
   Next to B, at Brasilia Shopping mall, it is
possible to buy a city tour in double-decker
buses. The city tour leaves the parking lot of
Brasilia Shopping towards the TV Tower, passes
by the Cathedral, Esplanade of the Ministries
(Esplanada dos Ministérios), National Congress
(Congresso Nacional), Three Powers Square
(Praça dos Três Poderes) and many others.
   If you have little time, or like the freedom
to make your own itinerary, we recommend
using the car to do the tour in less time.
   End the day by having a drink at Bar 16 and
enjoying Brasilia’s sunset.

Military Sector, in front of the Army Headquarters, it is named after four
sets of huge concrete blocks that simulate the shape of crystals inside a

                CITY OF DESIGN
 Whoever was born or lives in Brasília, breathes aesthetic refer-
ences. We observe closely the different trends and the growing
 number of brands and designers that are constantly emerging.
Fashion in the city carries in its identity the minimalism of archi-
tecture, the baggage of the population that came from the four
       corners of the country and the desire to innovate.
