Introduction
Brasília's TV Tower stands on the city's Monumental Axis, about 224 m tall—among Brazil's tallest buildings and the best place to overlook this "airplane-shaped" city. A free observation deck at about 75 m offers a view of Brasília's unique planning—the airplane-like layout, the straight Monumental Axis, the symmetrically spread residential wings and the distant Paranoá artificial lake—directly showing the design idea of this World Heritage city. A lively handicraft fair is held at the base on weekends. Climbing the tower to see the whole city and the airplane outline is the quickest way to grasp Brasília's overall layout.
