Things to do in Juscelino Kubitscheck International Airport
Brasília is one of the 20th century's greatest urban planning achievements — built from scratch in the cerrado savanna as Brazil's new capital, inaugurated in 1960, and designed by urban planner Lúcio Costa and architect Oscar Niemeyer. The entire Pilot Plan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The National Congress twin towers, the Palácio do Planalto, the Catedral de Brasília (a crown-of-thorns concrete structure open to the sky), and the Museu Nacional (a flying-saucer dome above a reflecting pool) are individually extraordinary and collectively make this one of the world's greatest architectural urban landscapes.
