Asa Norte
Asa Norte is a residential and commercial district in the northern part of Brasília. It is characterized by a planned grid layout featuring "superquadras," which are residential blocks integrated with green spaces. Travelers visit this area to experience the city's unique urban planning and to access a variety of local shops and cafés located along the commercial strips.
