Why visit
Brasilia is a planned-capital city for modernist architecture, civic axes, Niemeyer buildings, wide distances, and a very different version of urban Brazil. It works when the trip wants design and politics at full scale.
When to avoid
The city is spread out and not very walkable, so plan transport carefully. The dry season can bring smoke, dust, and very low humidity. The wet season can bring heavy afternoon storms. Avoid isolated monumental areas after dark. A route through Brasília needs enough margin for hours and delays to change. A day in Brasília can be thinned by closures or slowed by traffic, queues, and transfers.
