Thread: How often do you visit Belo Horizonte?

How often do you visit Belo Horizonte? Is it one of your favorite cities? Why or why not?

I haven't visited it yet, but I plan to visit soon.

I have been there almost every week a few days for the last year and it is a city which is difficult to understand as it is very big and although there are many nice places to visit it's not that easy to find them unless you have a local leading you the way.

Cheers,

Hans

I haven't been there, I too heard itz a big city & there are lots to explore!

I live here, an amazing city!

I've never been there. Can you give me reason why should I have to try a visit there? Thanks!

Belo Horizonte has plenty of significant cultural landmarks, many of them situated in the Pampulha district, where there are very wonderful examples of Brazilian contemporary architecture.


1. The Mineirão Stadium - one of the largest soccer stadiums in the world
2. The São Francisco de Assis Church - widely known as Igreja da Pampulha
3. The Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais campus - whose buildings themselves are important contributions to the city's architecture
4. Other remarkable Pampulha buildings include the Mesbla and Niemeyer buildings, in addition to the headquarters of corporations such as Usiminas, Seculus, and Telemig Celular.

In downtown Belo Horizonte, are located the neo-Gothic Boa Viagem Cathedral, the church of São José, the Praça da Estação (Station Square), which is an old train station that now is also the Museum of Arts and Workmanship, the Municipal Park, the famous Sete de Setembro Square, where an Obelisk built in 1922 marks the one hundred years of Brazilian independence from Portugal.

Don´t forget that in BH you´ll find the best food in Brazil ever. Hummm

I haven't been there but I heard so much about it. Belo Horizonte has a lively nightlife, with bars offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy authentic sugar cane brandy or cacha together with popular local snacks or quitutes

Not very often do I get to visit this wonderful area but the region was first settled in the early 18th century.
The metropolis was once a small village, founded by João Leite da Silva Ortiz.

Minas Gerais is a touristic pearl that many people do not really know. There is a lot of vegetation and also a diverse cuisine that is typically mineiro so to speak. I would suggest visiting BH, the city is very nicely laid out and you will be impressed with the architectural designs as well. You can also see tourist points in Ouro Preto, and Tiradentes.

Belo Horizonte is a great city of Minas Geras state, it is the capital of Minas Gerais.

I hardly go to BH, because I don´t have any friends, nor professional relationships to the city, but I can assure you that it is oneof the best citiesof Brazil for living well!
