Question 2

Is Brasilia walkable?

Accepted Answer

Brasília is only partly walkable. The grand sights along the Eixo Monumental, like the Cathedral, National Congress and Itamaraty Palace, sit on wide avenues with long distances between them, so you can link a few on foot but expect long walks.

Metrô-DF Green and Orange lines get you to Central and Galeria stations by the Rodoviária do Plano Piloto, where frequent city buses run along the Eixo Monumental to the Cathedral, Memorial JK and the TV Tower. For places like Palácio da Alvorada, transit is limited and a car is easier.

If you want comfort in the heat or are planning day trips, consider a private tour in Brasília with private transportation.
