Picture this: a city sprung from nothing, built in the shape of an airplane, or perhaps a bird - if you squint hard enough. This is Brasília, the futuristic brainchild of architect Oscar Niemeyer and urban planner Lúcio Costa, nestled in the heart of Brazil. With its avant-garde design, the city is a UNESCO World Heritage site, adorned with imaginative buildings that are a playground for architecture aficionados. Its cathedral with hyperboloid structure and glass roof is particularly stunning, allowing heavenly light to dapple through during the day. But hold on to your hat, for the weather here can be a wild ride! With a tropical savanna climate, Brasília swings from intense heat to torrential downpours. Planning a picnic at the Eixo Monumental? Check the forecast unless you fancy a soggy sandwich! And while the city was built for cars, with sprawling avenues and roundabouts, those without wheels might find themselves in a pickle. Public transport may not always get you where you need to be. Come sundown, Brasília doesn't exactly sizzle with nightlife - it's no Rio or São Paulo. Still, its charm lies in its quirks, like an open-air cinema here, a hip cafe there. So pack your adventurous spirit (and maybe a map), for Brasília is a place that beckons the bold.
