We, Brazilians, are usually not very proud of our politicians. But we should be proud of the building that houses the offices of the President of Brazil. It is a remarkable building designed by Oscar Niemeyer and a must-see attraction to those who visit Brasília.
One of those interesting architectal buildings that makes Brasilia famous. As the centre of power of Brasil, a must see, to remember any time you see fotos of Brasilia. Not extrodinary but interesting.
There are no English tours. All our guide did was point to furniture and rooms and say: ”this was designed by Oscar Niemeyer. This room accommodates up to 700 people. This is where Dilma Roussef works”. No historic facts or facts at all? I was expecting more.
As most Niemayer's works this is a beautiful building, but not Ractical to work in! The guided tours (as in all other public buildings of the monumental axis) are surprisingly nice!
So, this is where the president of Brasil Works, just go and enjoy the architecture, I recommend not to say a word of politics with the locals
Like walking inside a spaceship, the planetarium overlooks the national stadium contrasting in its surreal outer worldliness with the stolidity of the stadium
This is another work by Oscar Niemeyer, but not my favorite. We did not go inside, but it can be equally appreciated from the outside. This is were President Dilma Roussef has her offices and she was working there when we visited.
Every wednesday, guided tours to the residence of Brazil's president's! It worth the visit, specially if there are lines(most of the time)!
There is no doubt the exterior of this edifice is still appeals but it is inside that one marvels. Was worth the short wait to take the free tour on Sunday morning.From the foyers to the stairwell, there is plenty inside to please any architecture buff.Would love some of the furniture at home !
If you are in Brasilia you have to see it. After all it is the Brazilian equivalent to the White House or the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires.
