Many visit the site of President Kubitschek’s memorial, featuring a tastefully inscribed plaque in honor of the beloved leader.
One of the most interesting sights in a city full of architectural wonders is the Memorial JK. I took a taxi to get here from the hotel area and then went for a long walk back, past several other interesting places. Considered as the president, who achieved the most of all for his country, Joscelino Kubitschek (often just known as 'JK') is also seen by many as the 'father of modern Brazil'. Not the least he stands behind the foundation of the new capital, Brasilia. Trained as a medical doctor this man from Minas Gerais, who as his family name betrays is a descendant - from his mother's side - of Czech immigrants, very soon started a successful political career. After he was killed at a car accident in 1976 soon later a mausoleum-memorial was built in his honour - with Oscar Niemeyer as the architect. Besides the tomb in a crypt with special light effect can be seen rooms with various personal items of his and of his wife Sarah like furniture, books, dresses, letters and many photos showing him with people like JFK, Marlon Brando, Fidel Castro, André Malraux and many many others. It all gives an insight into the man's life and also of his period in general.

Another structure by award-winning architect Oscar Niemeyer, this landmark cathedral features stunning interior glasswork.
Fabulous stained glass dome encompasses a cool and peaceful area with angel sculptures suspended from the roof. Don’t miss the baptistery, thru a corridor on the left which displays photos and information about the construction.

The interior of the Santuario dom Bosco is one of the most beautiful rooms that I know. When entering the Santurario, I'm struck every time by the beauty of the vast room that is surrounded by large blue glass windows that transcend the room into a divine sphere.

Exhibition space, beautiful garden, theater, cinema, multimedia stage, the CCBB has been a center of reference for cultural activities in the city of Brasilia. Since its inauguration in 1993, it has been taking the institutional role for the development and preservation of all kinds of art.
Coffe with a nice view of JK bridge, a nice restaurant, cinema, shows, outdoor attractions, nature, free parking. Wether you are alone or with the whole family, this a place to go and find something to do. A nice mix of Art and nature. Pic nic is also an option (don't forget to pick up your trash)
