The TV Tower is quite a disappointment. You feel that you are going to go higher up and be able to see for miles but actually the dingy little lift that they pack you into goes to a small, screened area which after about 10 minutes you've done. Then you queue to get back into the small, dingy lift to... More

Yes, it is not an Eiffel Tower, but is very nice to see the city from the top and take some nice pictures of Brasilia.

From its deck (75 meters high) you can have a free view to all directions of Brasilia. At any hour of the day or night beautiful pictures are granted. Sunrise and sunset are amazing. At its bottom there is a good handcraft market, which is better to be visited on Saturdays and Sundays.

Not much to see. Not much to do. The view of the lake is kind of nice though. But wouldn't re-visit again.

This is a nice place to have a general view of Brasilia. There is a fair where you can buy travel souvenirs.

The TV tower is a central place at Brasília. You can take an elevator and go up inside the tower, so you'll have the best panoramic view of the city. Beside the tower there is a great fair, named Craft Fair (Feira de artesanato) wher you can eat regional brazilian food and buy local craft and memory gifts.

Very old, very...beaten up! The elevator could die on you (and the 22 other person onboard) anytime! The view is interesting..

There are a few street shops around the TV Tower, but the Tower itself has none. You can go uo for free and have a nice view of the Esplanada dos Ministérios. BUT in summer Brasilia is REALLY hot. Take an umbrella to protect you from the sun and drink lots of water.

Did not get to go up in the tower, but was able to see it. Very cool. It is in town, so convenient to see much of the sites.
