Top Brasilia Arts & Design

In this itinerary you will discover part of Lucio Costa's urban design and several works by Oscar Niemeyer, one of the greatest architects of all time. You will also meet several other artists whose work is integrated into the architecture and urbanism of the city. The circuit takes people to get to know the main sights of the city, reaching the Monumental Axis from its western part to Praça dos 3 Poderes. Among other places, we visited the TV Tower, City Park, Dom Bosco Sanctuary, and the South Commercial Sector. We pass by the Upper Platform of the Bus Station, National Theater, Cultural Complex of the Republic, Cathedral, Esplanada dos Ministérios, Itamaraty and arrive at Praça dos Três Poderes and Espaço Lucio Costa. We walk on shared bike paths and sidewalks and we always cross at traffic lights or crosswalks. By bike we cover circuits impossible for other vehicles and the perspective of the city is completely different.

The Bike Tour takes people to get to know the way of life of the locals, the way they occupy the city. The circuit lasts approximately six hours and has numerous stops for explanations, photos and contemplation. This route will visit the same route as the Monumental Axis, plus the Unity Neighborhood route. It is a complete tour of a large urban area of the city. Lúcio's four Scales are the Monumental, Gregarious, Residential, and Bucolic. We will go through them, realizing the characteristics and differences between each of the urban configurations, and the importance that this modernist project has for the history of architecture and urbanism in the world. In this circuit, optionally, we have a change in the mode of transport - we take the subway with the bicycles. By bicycle we cover circuits impossible for other vehicles and the perspective of the city is completely different

The Bike Tour of the JK Memorial and Praça dos Cristais will take the tourist to ride in the Civic-Administrative Zone of the capital. The JK Memorial is an important work designed by Oscar Niemeyer and houses a museum and a burial chamber where the remains of Juscelino Kubitschek, former president of Brazil and founder of the city of Brasília, are located. It's a great place to learn the history of Kubitschek and our capital. By bike we cover circuits impossible for other vehicles and the perspective of the city is completely different. Attention: although our bike tours are eminently urban, we enter one or another building and on Mondays some of the buildings we visit are not open to the public. They are closed for cleaning and maintenance. It is the case of the JK Memorial

Through the Bike Tour of the Fátima Neighborhood and Church Unit, people will get to know the way of life of Brazilians and learn about the urban design designed by Lucio Costa, the city's inventor architect. We think mainly of people who already know the Monumental Axis and would like to know different places, see the life that Brazilians live and understand how it lives. By bike we travel impossible circuits to other vehicles and the perspective of the city is completely different.
