Belo Horizonte is Brazil's easygoing mountain capital, a city of leafy squares, buzzing bars and some of the country's best home cooking from the state of Minas Gerais. Modernist architecture by Oscar Niemeyer frames the lakeside Pampulha district, while the hills around town hide art estates and old mining towns. Settle in over a plate of feijão tropeiro and let the city's warmth carry you along!

When to go

The dry season from May to September is mild and comfortable, with sunny days and cooler evenings that suit walking the neighbourhoods. The wet season from November to March brings warm afternoons and heavy short downpours, and everything turns green. Being inland and elevated, Belo Horizonte rarely feels as sticky as the coast.

Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

From Québec City or Montréal you will connect through a US hub and then a Brazilian gateway such as São Paulo before the short flight to Belo Horizonte. Overnight crossings are the norm, so plan for a full day of travel with at least one change. Confins airport sits about 40 minutes from the centre.

What to see and do

  • The Pampulha complex, with Niemeyer's church and lakeside buildings
  • Mercado Central, a sprawling covered market of food and crafts
  • Praça da Liberdade and its surrounding cultural buildings
  • Inhotim, a vast open-air art and botanical park a day trip away

Good to know before you go

Uber and 99 are the simplest ways to get around, with InDrive as another option, and both cover the airport run reliably. The currency is the Brazilian real, and cards work almost everywhere, though a little cash helps at the market stalls. Portuguese is the language here, not Spanish, so a few Portuguese phrases are appreciated. Evenings revolve around the bars, so keep some time free after dark.

Entry requirements and health

e-Visa required

You'll need a visa for this one, but the whole thing is done online before you go. Apply a little ahead of your trip and travel with the approval in hand.

Vaccines and health

Many travellers get vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid, which spread through food and water. Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for some areas, and it's worth keeping the certificate handy. Malaria is present in some areas, so ask a clinic whether antimalarials make sense for your route.
