Brasilia is located in the Federal District, in the central area of Brazil - the true heart of the Country. The Brazilian capital is the only city in the world built in the 20th century to be considered, since 1987, a Historical and Cultural Heritage of Humanity by Unesco, an UN agency, although the role of Brasilia tourism sector (however important) is less significant than Brasilia politics and business role. The young city, inaugurated in 1960, surprises even the most experienced travelers. In terms of gastronomy, Brasilia is a world capital.

The city of Brasilia was intended for a population of half a million by the year 2000. However, there are over two million people living in and around Brasília today and within twenty years this could easily double. Brasilia's good points are all fairly obvious architectural ones, but there are other attractions, too. Magnificent sunsets send a golden glow over the rooftops of Brasilia hotels, condos, shacks and palaces and especially impressive are the twin concrete towers of the National Congress building
