Where Culture Meets Comfort
Charming, creative, and surrounded by rolling hills, Belo Horizonte—or "BH" as locals call it—is a vibrant city with a strong cultural soul and a warm, welcoming vibe. As the capital of Minas Gerais, it's known for its delicious food, artistic flair, and laid-back energy.
Why Visit?
Belo Horizonte offers a perfect blend of urban culture and traditional charm. It's home to the famous Pampulha architectural complex, designed by Oscar Niemeyer and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as well as a thriving arts scene with museums like Inhotim—one of the largest open-air contemporary art museums in the world.
BH is also Brazil’s unofficial capital of botecos (local bars), where friends gather over cold drinks and savory snacks like pão de queijo and torresmo. The food culture here is legendary—rooted in Minas Gerais’ rich culinary traditions, served with heart and simplicity.
Just outside the city, you’ll find historical gems like Ouro Preto, Tiradentes, and Congonhas, making BH the perfect starting point for exploring Brazil’s colonial past.
The Vibe
Belo Horizonte is friendly, flavorful, and full of life. It’s a city that invites you to slow down and savor—every bite, every conversation, every sunset behind the mountains. Whether you’re wandering art-filled streets or sharing stories over a table full of Minas food, BH feels like home—even if it’s your first time.
