The tallest structure in the city offers the greatest view. From that vantage point the airplane shape becomes evident. The tower stands 715 feet high, although the observation deck is at 246 feet. There are restaurants and gift shops. The elevator runs daily from 8 am to 8 pm. Facing west (to the tail of the plane) you’ll see Praça do Cruzeiro, where the city’s first mass was held in 1957, the Kubitschek Memorial and the Memorial dos Povos Indigenas.
Facing east (to the cockpit) the Aztec pyramid you see on your left is the National Theater (Teatro Nacional Cláudio Santoro) and the wine-cup shape on your right is the cathedral. The large park below the tower is Sara Kubitschek City Park. You’ll have unobstructed views of the parallel row of government buildings and, in the distance, the twin towers that mark Three Powers Square.
Beyond the square is manmade Lake Paraná, the only part of Brasília that was unplanned. You can walk from the Television Tower to Three Powers Square. Leave at least six hours so you can explore all the sights en route at a comfortable pace.
