What Is Expat Life in Brasilia Like?
A unique political center of Brazil, the country's capital is noted for its modernist architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is divided into blocks and specialist sectors, such as the hotel sector and banking sector. Sports fans will be at home with motorsports, football, and basketball, and active expats can take to the sweeping national parks, running clubs, and nearby hiking trails. Shoppers are spoiled for choice with several large malls, and those wanting an authentic Brazilian experience will be sure to attend Brazil's most famous party — carnival. A large and busy city, Brasilia's career opportunities are wide and varying; banking, communications, IT, and food production are all thriving industries.
