Brasília - One of the best cities in Brazil? 

I love to live in Brasília! When i travel I always feel so grateful when i come back.

I lived in Sao Paulo and now live in Brasilia... Brasília is much more comfortable in terms of getting to point A to B, less crowded, less buildings and more wide open spaces that make you feel more comfortable... I live in neighborhood fairly close to the center and we barely have any news of mugs and robberys here

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay here in Brasilia! this is one of the most complete reviews I've seen, especially by bringing up the cost of living in nearby "cities" (we call them regiões administrativas) like Ceilândia and Águas Claras. Overall Brasilia is a great city. We have our issues but it's far better than most cities in Brazil when it comes to violence, public services and quality of life. If you ever come back make sure to go to Eixão do Lazer on a Sunday, you'll love to hear artists perform chorinho, ride a bike and get some food/beer from the food trucks

Love Brasilia, like nothing else I,ve seen in the Americas, stunning architecture

we have many haters here in brasilia, but i love my city and wouldnt trade it for any other

I have mixed feelings about the urbanism in Brasilia. I do value walkability.

I'm born and raised in Brasília and wouldn't trade it for anywhere else in Brazil. To be honest there are only a few other cities in the world I'd live in besides here

I lived in Brasília my whole life and I must say Brasília has be best climate in the world. It is some work to get used to the dryness in the dry season (which lasts for 6 months average) But once you do... You'll be amazed with 6 months of intense SUN where the sun is further away (this happens in winter) And then in the rainy season is where the sun is supposed to be super hot, but then now we get air humidity and clouds to even things out. So in sum: not a cold winter, not a hot summer. I can get by with pants and a small hoodie all year round, never gets too hot or too cold, I find this completely amazing. Other thing I must say is that it rarely rains in the mornings in the rainy season... even though we get a LOT of rain, completely disproportionated 6 months raining for when it should rain the whole year... But not in most mornings, so if you're an outdoorsy person, every morning is a good morning for a workout, basicaly. Specially if you live close to the Lake, which boosts life quality a lot, specially in the dry season. Cheers from Brazil, fellow youtubers

One thing is certain: we do have a lot of space, and the buildings are low so you get to see the sky in all it's glory. Also, the vegetation around the city is really unique, it is called Cerrado. We also have tourist cities not far from here. Since we are surrounded by the state of Goiás, most of it is in cities like Formosa, Pirinópolis , Caldas Novas, Alto Paraíso. There three towns offer a lot trails and waterfalls that are really beautiful.

Eu amo a minha Brasília! não a trocaria por nenhuma outra cidade aqui do Brasil.

I live close by, in Alto Paraiso. I'am always amazed about how spacious Brasilia is compared with other big cities in Brazil. It's also quite safe, as how I experience it for example with Rio. Come there mostly for when I need to do do big shopping or when I need to catch a flight. Always try to stay there at least one night and walk around in the area of the government buildings. Somehow I find it impressive.

Great overview- I like your insight into the cost of living for comparison relative to other cities- thanks

Maybe you could make a serie about planned cities on Brasil, like, Belo Horizonte, Goiânia, Palmas (other new capitals), semiplanned like Volta Redonda-RJ (and the importance for industrialization and milestone for steel production).

Brasília has a good amount of rain between the end of september and the mid of april after the mid of april until the end of september and sometimes october, it's a very dry city with almost no rain every year. Some people love this, some on the other hand, have the urge to leave in some of the hollidays to a place a little bit more "friendly" every year. So far in 2024, no rain has happened since the start of the "dry season" You should visit Goiania as well if you haven't already PS: Although the city has this "plane" or "butterfly" shape, Oscar Niemeyer never intended to make the city look like this. He always said that the idea of making brasilia like a plane or butterfly had no logic at all, and that's simply a coincidence people often do while looking the city from above

I really do love Brasilia and you have a good Portuguese pronunciation

I live in Brasília, and I get why people from outside visit and and do not think much of it. Not a great place for tourists. But let me tell you, Brasilia is one of the best cities to live in the world. I'm aware that there's a lot of disparity, surrounding regions are not nearly as well off, but still, many regions, not only Plano Piloto, are great to live in. Plenty of outdoors green areas, little violence, good services in general...public transportation can get tricky due to the horizontal nature of the city, but still...Love it in here, great place for families. One of the best in Brazil for sure. And I've been around outside Brazil quite a bit...It's a great place to live even considering other developed cities worldwide.

Well, for me you showed the downtown of the city very well. Well done. Also, "Pontão do Lago Sul is one of my favorite spots in the city as well cause it's perfect to relax and catch up with your friends on the weekends or during your lunch break. And yeah, the cost of living is costly if compared with other Brazilian cities, however Brasilia holds the higgest average salary as you exposed in the video since the city is taken by civil servants.

Yes, best in Brazil and into the top tier in the World. Still underrated.

Hello, Finn here, living in Brasília. Where do you live in SC? We are planning to move to SC, altough couple cities there still under consideration.

You should go to Sao Paulo state countryside to get a different perspective of the Brazilian life.

Here in Brazil if you are direct worker for the government you receive better conditions to get a loan and other benefits. Even if you have a lower salary it's worth because you are seen as more stable person here

The project of Brazilian is quite a bit that of Chicago: to expand the occupation westward.

Beautiful as Pyongyang.

Brasília é disparadamente a melhor cidade do Brasil!

If you didn't live in Rio del Sul because of your wife's relatives and your only criteria was strictly climate, where would you would be living ? Just curious.Thanks.

I live in Brasília ❤

How many days did you spend in Brasilia? Quite jaded comment. You live in Curitiba, and think that Brasilia is on the middle of nowhere. Rich

Saya suka vidio anda sayang ❤❤❤❤

Ótima análise sobre nossa cidade, eu também moro por aqui...

It sucks. Big time. Feels like a Soviet city for rich people, but in a mediocre way. Also, it could be heaven for public transportation and certainly a reference to the world in that regard, but guess what... It's bad even if compared to other Brazilian cities (Porto Alegre and Curitiba, for example). AND GUESS WHAT? Can't do SHIT without a car, it's even worse than sprawly US suburbs in many ways. I moved to Brasilia since a relative of mine worked for the government and traveled the world a lot, nothing really caught my attention. Also, from all the Brazilians, Brasilia locals were by far the most bizarre and self-absorbed. They were nothing like "real" Brazilians that i've met across the country. Also, it's one of the only places in the world (apart from Denmark) were people REALLY stay in their little social bubbles their whole lives, doing the same stuff with the same folks. Overall, super mediocre. Sorry. Florianopolis, Porto Alegre, Aracaju and Curitiba are by far the best capital cities in Brazil. I think it would be fair to put Brasilia right behind those. If it weren't by the locals, could be much better.

Brasília is one of the most expensive cities in Brazil, surrounded by cities and favelas that are far more violent than Rio de Janeiro. You would be shocked hearing Uber and BlaBlaCar stories from the drivers and passengers.. This part where you filmed, it's like a separated island.. I recommend you to visit Goiânia and other cities of Goias state.

Brasilia is amazing but boring to compare others big cities.

Absolutely terrible city, basically and entire city of spraw. Impossible to walk and completely car dependent

No, one of the worst cities. Dystopian 🤣🤷🏼

I prefer southern cities such as Curitiba or Florianópolis, I did not like Brasília.

One of the best city of Brazil ? wtf? The wort for sure! No money could pay me to live there 😂😂☠️☠️🤮🤮 7:39

I live in brasilia and honestly, average, nothing to say, 1/10, Brazil by a whole is overrated, surely it has it's positive things, but personally I don't like it, if you do, I respect your opinion.

Camboriu is much better to invest. Brasilia will collapse, this city cannot walk with its own legs.

You said the basics but not what really maters. Brazilia is an artificial city populated by overpaid public servants, their boyfriends, girlfriends, lovers, lobbiests (...), and the likes. No surprise that the city becomes empty when the congressionals fly to their states wich is usualy late thursdays early fridays to return late mondays early tuesdays, except during holidays or Congress recess when they stay out of town is even longer. The fact that the city has the largest GDP in the country without producing not even one pin speaks volumes. Add to it the fact that no brazilian city is user friendly. Considering that brazilian cities (except some historic cities from the time of colonial rule) have no architetural caracter or fundament, I could say that Brazilia has an "anusual" aparence into the contest. Brazilian cities are pretty much about high walls with barbed wire or broken glass at the top, grilled windows and constant barking of dogs that also defecate and urinate in the sidewalk, such is the problem of urban violation caused by petty criminals and amplified by the media, police corruption and/or incompetence and the total absence of justice. We also have street vendors shouting their products throughout the day, noizy garbage collection in erratic hours, loud motocicles running deliveries throughout the day and neighbours who hardly speak to each other. Other then that...welcome to Brazil. A 524 years old country that dreams to be but has never managed.

I am a Brasília hater, sorry. Place is awful to live. Probably Europeans that hate social relations (like nordics) will like it.

ugly architecture, no beaches, basically built to keep the common Brazilian away from crooked politicians. Note the people who built the city had their homes under the lake. The government literally flooded their homes once they were done building the city. Brasilia is a masterpiece of classism and racism with the skin of the ugliest era for city design, go see the real Brasil, not this lala land for the government.
