Lonely Planet review

The remarkable Edifício Copan's serpentine façade and narrow brises-soleil have become a symbol of the city. Modernist master Oscar Niemeyer designed the building to bring together all classes by including sprawling apartments for the rich as well as tiny studios for the working poor. You can visit its snaking, sloping ground-floor shopping arcade, but the private apartments on the upper floors are off-limits.
