Places to Visit in Belo Horizonte<\/p>\n

Famous Landmarks<\/strong> \u2013 The Pampulha district is dotted with buildings in contemporary Brazilian architecture, including the Church of Saint Francis of Assisi (Igreja de S\u00e3o Francisco de Assis). Parque Guanabara, an amusement park along the banks of an artificial lake, is worth a visit. Plan a day trip to all three caves of Gruta Rei do Mato, Gruta da Lapinha, and Gruta do Maquin\u00e9 (with seven vast chambers) to look at prehistoric paintings.<\/p>\n

Museums<\/strong> \u2013 With 21 cutting-edge art galleries and sprawling gardens, the Instituto Inhotim \u2013 towards the southwest in Brumadinho \u2013 is the largest open-air contemporary art museum in the world. Memorial Minas Gerais Vale, which displays the regional culture of the last four centuries, lies at the beautifully renovated and tree-lined public square, Pra\u00e7a da Liberdade. Other cultural gems include: Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, Museu Hist\u00f3rico Ab\u00edlio Barreto, Museu de Artes e Of\u00edcios, and Museu das Minas e do Metal.<\/p>\n

Teatro Alterosa, Teatro Bradesco, Teatro Francisco Nunes, and Teatro Izabela Hendrix are popular centers for performing arts.<\/p>\n

Parks and Recreation<\/strong> \u2013 The Mangabeiras Park (Parque das Mangabeiras) \u2013 in the hills of Serra do Curral \u2013 offers panoramic views of the urban sprawl. The zoo and botanical gardens (Jardim Zool\u00f3gico e Bot\u00e2nico) are ideal getaways for children. Stroll the cosmopolitan streets during Savassi Festival on August evenings, sample traditional Mineira cuisine at a restaurant in Lourdes, browse through the packed stalls at Mercado Central or attend a weekend street fair at the Pal\u00e1cio das Artes.<\/p>\n
