The Bike Tour of the JK Memorial and Praça dos Cristais will take the tourist to ride in the Civic-Administrative Zone of the capital. The JK Memorial is an important work designed by Oscar Niemeyer and houses a museum and a burial chamber where the remains of Juscelino Kubitschek, former president of Brazil and founder of the city of Brasília, are located. It's a great place to learn the history of Kubitschek and our capital. By bike we cover circuits impossible for other vehicles and the perspective of the city is completely different.

Attention: although our bike tours are eminently urban, we enter one or another building and on Mondays some of the buildings we visit are not open to the public. They are closed for cleaning and maintenance. It is the case of the JK Memorial
