Audio Guide of Sunflower Square

Sunflower Square is a public space and is therefore open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no time restrictions. To get there, you can use taxis, ride-hailing apps such as Uber or 99, or local public transport. It is a very well-known landmark in Palmas, so any driver will be able to take you there without any trouble.

Good news! Sunflower Square is a completely free public space. There are no entrance fees or costs associated with visiting it, which makes it an ideal place to stroll and enjoy without worrying about your budget. You can explore it at your own pace and at no cost.

To fully enjoy Sunflower Square and its various attractions, we recommend setting aside at least 1 to 2 hours. You will be able to walk through its gardens, admire the monuments, and take photos at a relaxed pace. If you stop to read the information panels or have a snack, it may take a little longer.

Sunflower Square is much more than a simple square; it is the largest civic square in the world and the political and administrative heart of Palmas, the capital of Tocantins. It symbolizes the city’s planning and progress, while also serving as a meeting place that is home to important government buildings such as Araguaia Palace and the House of Culture. It is a testament to the vision of a modern city built from scratch. For more information, you can visit the Tocantins Tourism website.

To enjoy more pleasant temperatures and the best light for photographs, I suggest visiting Sunflower Square during the dry season months, from May to September. As for the time of day, the early morning or late afternoon are ideal, as the sun is not as intense and you can enjoy a cooler, more relaxed atmosphere.

Yes, Sunflower Square was designed with accessibility in mind. Its wide paths and flat surfaces make it comfortable for wheelchairs and strollers. It is an inclusive public space, allowing all visitors to enjoy its charms without major difficulties. If you need additional assistance, the security staff present in the square can help you.

Absolutely! While at Sunflower Square, you are in the very heart of Palmas. Within a short distance you can visit Araguaia Palace (the state government headquarters), the Metropolitan Cathedral of Palmas, and the Prestes Column Memorial. I also recommend Lajeado State Park, a little farther away but ideal for nature lovers.

To get the most out of your visit, I recommend wearing comfortable clothes and bringing sunscreen and a hat, especially if you visit during the middle of the day. Do not forget your camera, as there are many opportunities for spectacular photos. And a bottle of water will always come in handy to stay hydrated while you explore the area.
