The new TV Tower hosts the antennas of the digital TV. From the new tower, Brasília can be seen as a whole, the lake Parainoá surrounding the east side of Brasilia, as well some satelite cities, forests and rural areas.

As it is higher than the old TV Tower, located downtown Brasilia, views are quite impressive from a different perspective of the city and sorrounding areas.

The Tower was named the Cerrado Flower, ie., the flower of the Brazillian savannah.

As one of the last Niemayer´s pieces, it evoques an opening flower, mande of pure concrete and glass.

It is planned to be implemented a cafe or restaurant in one of its floors. It isn´t still opened by night, and visitation ends by 5 pm. So, on the contrary of the old TV Tower, I recommend going early.

There is a craftsmen shop and a cafe on the groundfloor.
It is located almost in Sobradinho, one of Brasilia´s satelite cities, as are called the unplanned cities that grew around it.

Views are amazing, speacially in the rainy season, when the dramatic clouds carring huges portions of water delivers rain - and life - to the cerrado - the brazillian savannah.

On the contrary of the old TV Tower, the vista point is covered by a ceiling, so the rain show won´t be a problem.
Even if there are lines in the ground floor, the covered building can prevent visitors from getting an unexpected shower.

The tour to the new TV Tower can be complemented by a visit to the Schoenstatt Shrine at Brasilia, called Santuário da Mãe e Rainha Três Vezes Admirável de Schoenstatt. It is just by its side (see future post).
