		Things you want to avoid while in Brasilia are, for example, to check in the hotels during the weekdays (when the rates are more expensive) or to wonder around the city without knowing where you're going.
		Brasilia has a very low criminality rate and the city is pretty safe, but it's wise to avoid walking alone in the areas around the hotels or in places where you haven't been before and that are completely unknown to you.
		The nightlife in Brasilia is not as wild as in other Brazilian cities like Sao Paulo or Rio, but the bar, the pubs and the clubs literally explode during the weekends.
