This article is an itinerary.

Around Brasilia by subway is an alternative to commonplace sightseeing in Brasilia.

[edit] Understand

Brasilia's subway wasn't exactly built with tourism in mind. It can, however, work as an interesting escape route from the government/architecture tourist beaten track.

The city's simple subway network starts right at the city centre and extends for many quilometres into the "sattelite cities" of Ceilandia and Samambaia. With a few stops and cheap fares, it is possible to get to know a lesser known side of the city and easily kill a day at Brazil's capital.

[edit] Prepare

Before going, remember to have:

• Pocket money in small bills or coins - the Metro doesn't accept credit cards and won't give change above R$ 20
• Comfortable walking shoes - some of the attractions in this itinerary may be as far as a 10-15 min walk from the stations, so leave the high heels at the hotel.
• Sunscreen - Yes, you'll be travelling underground, but above the subway escalators Brasilia is nearly always sunny and you might want to add some protection.
