Belo Horizonte Travel Guide

The "Bar Capital" of Brazil, maybe of the world, has many things to offer besides the bars. But the Bar festival that takes place every year in town is a great opputunity to get in touch with the city's culture and finest bar cousine. Gather your mates and be prepared to go to a lot of different bars, trying all dishes that are on the contest for the 1st prize, and don't drive: you will drink a lot of ice cold beer, for sure!

An opportunity to interact with local people and probably some other tourists is attending at the CouchSurfing's weekly meeting which takes place every friday night at Maleta's building. By getting there, you're gonna find people willing to show you the city and definitely the nightlife after enjoying a cold beer at Maleta's bar. You can get more info acessing Belo Horizonte's group in CouchSurfing's website.

I´ve lived there for three years. It´s true that there is not much to see, but the night life is one of the best in Brazil. 11 women for every man, it´s the official report!   The Mineirao (the Cruzeiro stadium), needs to be visited. Possibly watch a Cruzeiro footbzall match, is a party! Remember to eat Feijao Tropeiro, in the Mineirao is a must!
