Easily approached by city bus this is a beautiful monument which does justice to the growing importance of Brasil in the world. The uniqueness of the architecture and the outstanding landscaping makes it a must visit place!

Guided visit to the Brazilian Congress, every day from 9:30 AM. It is one more Oscar Niemeyer project for the Brazilian capital city.

It only worth because of its architectonic lines, nothing more than that. Brazilian congressmen are one of the main responsible for the current moral degradation of the country.

It's an impressive construction with a lot of meaning to it as well. It looks interesting on the outside and if you get on a free tour then you can go inside both of the 'domes' and see a lot of the stuff that goes on in there. We were even taken in to watch one of the live debates.

Entrance is free. Open from 9am to 5pm. Just go there and there is a tour starting every half an hour - in Portuguese. If you need an English one, you will probably have to wait a little longer. There is a young guy in the mornings, called Eduardo, who can speak English. He might help you.
