Discover more about Torre de televisão

Rising majestically against the Brasília skyline, the Torre de Televisão is more than just a telecommunications tower; it's a symbol of the city's modernist architecture and a popular destination for locals and tourists. Designed by Lúcio Costa, the same urban planner behind Brasília's unique city layout, the tower was inaugurated in 1967. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it initially stood at 218 meters, later expanded to 224 meters, making it the fourth tallest structure in Brazil. Visitors can ascend to the observation deck, located 75 meters above ground, via a quick elevator ride, to experience sweeping views of Brasília's Plano Piloto. From this vantage point, landmarks like the Esplanada dos Ministérios, the National Stadium, and Lake Paranoá can be spotted on a clear day. The observation deck can accommodate up to 150 people. At the base of the tower, a vibrant gift shop showcases local artisans' crafts, providing an opportunity to acquire a piece of Brasília. The area transforms into a bustling market on weekends with food stalls offering traditional Brazilian snacks. The luminous fountain at the base adds to the tower's appeal, creating a lively atmosphere. The Torre de Televisão is a must-visit for anyone seeking to understand Brasília's urban design and soak in its cultural vibrancy.
