The 34 best places to go out in Brasilia (2024)

The JK Memorial is a museum dedicated to the memory of former Brazilian president Juscelino Kubitschek. The building, designed by Oscar Niemeyer, has a futuristic look and feels like an underground complex. It features a truncated pyramid shape with rectangular base covered in white marble and topped by a dome made of apparent concrete. At 28 meters high, the tower displays Juscelino Kubitschek's wave to welcome visitors.

Jam packed with objects and personal belongings of JK. It even contains his complete personal library. The austerity of the museum is obvious from the moment you enter and highlighted by his sarcophagus on the 2nd floor.

A museum where you can learn more about the president and the other people who built Brasília and also about the city construction itself. There are several videos, presentations, photos, objects and even entire rooms full of history.

Very well organized memorial with lot of multimedia content also in English. There are reconstructed rooms of JK which give you a nice idea of how they were leaving at that time. Also the private library of JK is there where you can discover the complete work of French writer Molliere and the full work of Shakespeare in an old edition which was a gift by Queen Elisabeth 2 to JK. Lots of medals and various presents JK received are also exposed. Interesting also is the collection of dress of the first lady. There is a small cafeteria which serve cafe, cold drinks and small cheese cake as appetizers. Tour take 1-2 hours if you want to read and see everything. Highly recommended...

Good guided tour. Don't understand how this place is charged entrance when the government give early over milions for this to be running. Good thing old people don't pay entrance fee nor does anyone with a limit disability.

I was enamored by the story of this man and his incredibly brilliant wife.

If I could give it 6 stars I would. This is a cash only museum priced at R$ 10,00 at the time of writing this review. Inside you can see many original pieces of importance to Juscelino's Kubitschek history and Brasilia's history. Make sure you go early and well fed so you take your time inside. Precisely curated by his wife Sara, it even has his mortuary chamber. It's a must see if you are interested in inspiring personalities. #museum

It was worth the entrance price as it was high class, staff stylish, small garden, and an unique experience!

It is worth spending a couple of hours to understand how Brasilia was idealized. The employees were so polite and helpful. The only thing is that only cash is accepted.

Excellent place to visit. There one will learn a lot avout the history of Brazil's capital. Employees are always very helpful and polite and the place has a lot to offer.

Amazing for sunset, moonrise or a short city break. If you have some free time make surte to visit the museum under the monument. The president's car, a 1974 Ford Galaxie is exhibited here permanently.
