Belo Horizonte


Belo Horizonte is always a surprise. The city lies among the mountains and is like a movie, which brings new scenes and emotions anytime. It is located in the center of Brazil, interconnecting Brazilians from anywhere. Its privileged climate made BH become a Garden City. Come for its theatres and the impressive Handicraft Market (Feira de Artesanato), the biggest open air Market in South America. Come for its artists, the gastronomic culture, Minas Gerais’ cachaça, which wets your appetite and opens your heart. Come for its architecture, with Niemeyer’s touch.

Come for the central market, meeting points, feelings, entertainment and business, safe squares and parks; bars and restaurants, and experience the impressions of a maiden who smiles and dreams of the future. Whoever comes to BH (Belo Horizonte’s nickname) is going to listen to bells of the churches, choirs on squares, congadeiros on the streets, rock coming out of garages and conquering the world, and the traditional seresta of Minas. Whoever comes to BH will be able to visit dozens of parks, to see flowers in the gardens, to get enchanted with the rich and assorted commerce, to vibrate in a sports competition in Mineirão and Mineirinho, and to listen to the stories residing in the souls of all ethnic groups which make the city a portrait of the world. And when one thinks that surprises are over, the visitor, while indulging in a typical cheese bread, is taken by surprise by the marvelous sunset among the flowers. At this time, it is helpless to resist: BH becomes your life-long passion.
