Belo Horizonte - Brazil’s third-largest city - lies in the centre of the state of Minas Gerais. The city has been built over numerous hills, meaning that tourists wishing to explore its attractions on foot will benefit from a good workout.

Belo Horizonte boasts a range of museums and parks. However, most of them are closed on Mondays. Tourists to the city should check out the Pampulha, a 1940s neighbourhood which provides highlights of modern Brazil architecture, the São Francisco de Assis Church being one the many attractions. In close proximity to the church is Parque Guanabara, a small amusement park that is well worth a visit, particularly with families staying in Belo Horizonte holiday rentals.

Tourists wishing to learn more about the history of Belo Horizonte will take pleasure in a trip to the Museu Histórico Abílio Barreto, a museum dedicated to the city’s history of the city. 

For nature lovers, the Mangabeiras Park in Belo Horizonte is an amazing place to visit. The Praça da Liberdade, a magnificent palm tree-lined square which is side-lined by many interesting 19th century buildings should also rate highly on a tourist’s itinerary.

For spectacular views of Belo Horizonte and its surrounds, the Alta Vila Tower will provide all this and more. Tourists to the region often like to try to spot their Belo Horizonte city centre (center) apartments from the top of the tower. The tower boasts a café for those who need to satisfy their hunger before trekking back down.

Belo Horizonte is certainly not short of shops. From traditional markets to large shopping centres, the city is a shopping haven for tourists to the region. Tourists can stock up on cheese, fruit and meat at the city’s markets and enjoy them on returning to their Belo Horizonte holiday lets or self-catered apartments.

The Hippie Fair in the city is one of the largest in Brazil and sells everything from crafts to furniture and clothing. Tourists would be wise to find large apartment rentals to house all their purchases. Those who visit the market will find themselves among the many thousands who visit every Sunday.

Tourists to Belo Horizonte will soon discover that the locals simply love spending their evenings in bars.
