We are going to walk through downtown Belo Horizonte, visiting the city's most iconic landmarks, places that show up again and again in any local's list of favorite spots in the city.
The Obelisk, the Municipal Park, Bahia Street, Liberty Square, and the Central Market are some of our stops, each one carrying a different piece of the story of how this city grew from a planned 19th-century capital into the lively metropolis it is today.
Along the way you'll see how the wide boulevards were laid out from scratch, how the cafés along Bahia Street still fill up every evening, and how the old government palaces around Liberty Square have been turned into museums and cultural spaces open to the public.
Be amazed by the rich history, architectural beauty, and delicious flavors of the capital of Minas Gerais, a city built on coffee money and mining wealth that grew into one of Brazil's most interesting cultural centers.
Belo Horizonte is much more than pão de queijo, coffee, and cachaça, even though all three are very much part of daily life here and worth trying while you're in town.
Come discover the history, architecture, and culture of this city, from its planned grid of streets to the hills that surround it and the markets that have fed generations of locals.
