36 Hours in Brasília (By Seth Kugel) 
 
Despite the modernistic monuments by the legendary Oscar Niemeyer, Brazil’s 
retro-futuristic capital city — erected on an expanse of 0 DRY plains in central 
Brazil — has generally drawn few visitors. But as Brazil’s economy booms and its 
world influence increases, Brasília is coming of age, gaining a new museum 
here, a cool bridge there and top-shelf restaurants everywhere. 
SUNSET FROM A SHRINE 
One of the wonders of the capital is its sunset, which is beautiful from just about 
anywhere, but the best place of all to catch it is at the Ermida Dom Bosco (QI 
29, Lago Sul), a 1 _____________ Niemeyer-designed shrine across the artificial 
Lake Paranoá. The lookout attracts a daily crowd eager to catch the stunning 
oranges and reds and lavenders that fill the sky. 
BAR HOPPING 
The most popular evening activity for all local residents is to eat, drink and talk 
at the hyper-social bars that serve young and old, straight and gay, beer-lovers 
and caipirinha aficionados alike. Perhaps the most traditional of all is Beirute 
(CLS 109), seamlessly mixing the older regulars with a young gay crowd; the 
food, as you might expect, runs Middle Eastern, including the football-shaped 
minced-meat and bulgur snacks known in Portuguese as kibes (from 3.50 reais, 
or $2 at 1.7 reais to the dollar). Two other favorites are Libanus (CLS 206), 
younger and a bit more raucous, and Boteco (CLS 406), a spirited Rio de 
Janeiro-style bar erected, in classic Brasília juxtaposition, across the parking lot 
from a supermarket. Waiters bring around 2 _____________ trays bearing snacks 
to choose from; the most famous is the coxinha de camarão (7.90 reais), a 
shrimp version of Brazil’s staple bar snack, chicken croquettes. 
MODERNIST WORSHIP 
No colonial-era churches in this town. Instead, Brasília’s houses of worship fit 
right in with the modernist theme. You’ve already caught a glimpse of 
Niemeyer’s National Cathedral near the ministries, now it’s time for a visit to 
what must be the bluest church in the world, the Dom Bosco Sanctuary (SEPS, 
Quadra 702; 55-61-3223-6542; santuariodombosco.org.br), completed in 1970. 
Its 3 _____________ spans 50 feet of Gothic arches, filled in with 12 tones of blue 
stained glass, casting the interior (and its 2.75-ton chandelier and cedar cross) 
in haunting submarine tones. 
THE ANTI-BRASÍLIA 
There’s barely a trace of poverty or even of the working class in Brasília. But 
that’s an illusion 4 _____________ by mass media: the poorer residents of the 
Federal District live in “satellite cities,” dense clusters of high-rise apartment 
buildings that dot Brasília’s horizon. For a taste of life as it is really lived, head 30 
minutes out of town to Ceilândia, where the central market hums Wednesday 
through Sunday. Far from being the city’s 5 _____________, for only about 7 reais, 
food stands offer huge plates of northeastern specialties. Under the same roof 
you’ll find bakers, fruit sellers, discount clothing, tobacco salesmen and 
butchers. If Brasília is a modern Brazilian dream, Ceilândia is modern Brazilian 
reality. (Adapted from https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/06/travel/36-hours-in-brasilia-brazil.html)
