Ponte JK (JK Bridge) is one of the many famous projects by Oscar Niemeyer, one of the world's most renowned architects. JK stands for Juscelino Kubitschek, who was President of Brazil from 1956 through 1961.

Look for a place, just before the bridge, to drink a beer and take nice photos.

Well, it's just a bridge, but quite a beautiful one. From many areas near the lake, there are excellent views and photo opportunities to catch the bridge with Brasilia's lake district in the background.

I am just such a lucky person that I can cross this bridge every day when going to work. It is beautiful specially at night when it is lit by many different coloured lights.

“A lovely sight at night (floodlit)”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

One of the newest additions to Brasilia. Unusually, not architected by the great Oscar Neimeyer. Built around four years ago, the bridge overran its budget by 300%.

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

Worth a trip to see it up close. It is very fascinating to see the way the road is entwined in the bridge
