Hundreds of flowers spread colors and fragrances throughout the city. Woods, squares, and gardens fill the spaces between avenues and streets, making Goiânia rank among the best Brazilian cities in quality of life.
The capital of Goiás is modern. Perhaps that’s why the cultural buzz is so intense. Cinemas, art galleries, woods, universities, parks, and museums are part of a dynamic daily life that soon influences the day-to-day of visitors.
Those who pass through here cannot miss the Monument to the Three Races, a symbol of the city, located in Praça Doutor Pedro Ludovico Teixeira, in the city center. When designing it in 1968, the plastic artist Neusa Moraes symbolized the miscegenation of the three races: white, black, and indigenous, present in the blood of the Goian people.
The plastic artist Siron Franco contributed to the creation of the Monument to Peace, in Bosque dos Buritis. The work, a five-meter tall hourglass weighing five hundred tons, houses soil from various countries. By the shores of a beautiful lake in the woods, the sculpture represents the possibility of unity among all peoples.
The religious aspect of the city has also transformed into a bustling tourist spot. The Stations of the Cross Panels impress with their grandeur. They stretch for 16 kilometers, resembling a gigantic open-air art gallery, the largest in the world.
Still in the arts, Goiânia continues to impress. The Museum of Contemporary Art, MAC, has a collection of 500 works, including paintings, sculptures, engravings, drawings, objects, and reproductions. In the same location are the School of Visual Arts and the State Ballet, other explicit manifestations of Goian culture.
In Goiânia, the traditional Sunday outing is to the Hippie Fair, located at a historical point in the city, the old train station 
overlooking the Maria Fumaça. While enjoying a sugarcane juice, you can buy handmade items, footwear, typical foods, and imported products scattered across thousands of stalls. Another well-known fair in the city is the Cora Coralina, named in honor of one of the most talented poets and sweet makers in the state. The fair, as expected, specializes in sweets and is located on the traditional Rua do Lazer.
To enjoy the fresh air, there are hundreds of clean and flower-filled squares, and Bosque dos Buritis is considered the city’s landscape heritage. Overlooking the Setor Oeste of Goiânia, the woods house three artificial lakes. In one of them is the largest water jet in South America.
The typical cuisine of the region has indigenous origins mixed with influences from Minas Gerais and São Paulo cuisine. This blend has an unforgettable flavor. Baked fish on a tile, chicken stew, sun-dried meat with vegetables, roasted pork leg with butter farofa, crispy piglet, chicken with pequi, and empadão goiano (which includes chicken, pork, guariroba, sausage, and cheese). Pamonha, curau, fruit peel sweets, candied fruits, cheese biscuits, and much more. The delights can be savored at the fairs scattered throughout the city and also in many typical restaurants.Source: www.feriasbrasil.com.br
