About Belo Horizonte

Belo Horizonte—or BH—is where Brazilians go to eat: botecos, pão de queijo, and feijoada anchor evenings in the Savassi and Lourdes neighborhoods. April to September offers the most comfortable weather for Oscar Niemeyer's Pampulha complex, Inhotim day trips, and the hillside views from Mangabeiras. Summer rains arrive in sudden bursts; keep museum and market plans flexible. Use BH as a hub for Ouro Preto, Mariana, and the historic towns of Minas Gerais.
