Itamaraty Palace has some piece of the history of Brasilia, you can travel among the time and see paints, antique articles that explain you the first years of Brazil.
The Itamaraty palace is interesting outside. The water in the moat, for example, is cleaned by people floting in little gondolas! But, more seriously, I recommend joining a tour of the Palace at weekends if you can. The internal staircase, garden and art works are special.

Brasilia is a place of modern palaces and beautiful architecture. Itamaraty seems to be one more, up to the moment you get inside. You need to schedule a guided tour, but if you just come I guess no big issues to take next tour.Architecture is amazing, but also some art pieces inside are outstanding.Not to say the beauty of the internal gardens, a piece of art by themselves.
Very nice tour available for those interested in the history of this Palace, with unique facts you'll only get to know if you take it.
First tour I encountered in Brazil where the guide was fluent in English and really understood the architecture of the place.. Great one, don't miss it!
How many ministries give guided tours of their own buildings? If you work in the beautiful Itamaraty Palace that houses the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then its understandable. A proudly modern building in the 1960s, you approach via a footpath over a large pond that surrounds the front of the building. Large arches, cavernous halls, white wall to wall murals, a hanging spiral staircase and many other features make this a worthwhile stop.I'm told there a re tours every hour on the hour but can't confirm that. Check with your hotel.
Itamaraty is the Foreign Relationships Ministry, the architecture is nice, you can get some cool pictures there, the square is nice
The guided tour was very nice. Beautiful place to visit, def worth it! You need to book the tour in advance.
This is my favorite of all the buildings in Brasilia. Amazing setting for the foreign ministry. Great view of Congress from the balcony.. The concrete spiral staircase from the entry level to the reception area is a revelation. I think this building was sublimely realized in both form and purpose.
