However, it also belongs to the Federal District's surrounding region, because of its proximity to the federal capital (58 km).

From Luziânia emerged other municipalities of the state: Cristalina, Padre Bernardo, Santo Antônio do Descoberto, Valparaíso de Goiás, Novo Gama and Cidade Ocidental.
Luziânia lies south of Brasília, 58 kilometres from the federal capital, its main access being the BR-040, the same route that links Brasília with Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro. It is 196 km from Goiânia, the state capital, to which it is connected by the GO-010.
