Top 10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais (MG)
The name says it all: Belo Horizonte, or “beautiful horizon,” has stunning views of surrounding mountains. Built as a planned city about a century ago, its tree-lined streets are laid out in a tidy grid. Explore the modern Brazilian architecture of the Pampulha neighborhood, relax in Mangabeiras Park or indulge in some epic retail therapy. Refresh with a cachaça rum cocktail, or tuck into a sumptuous pile of meat at a traditional Brazilian barbecue restaurant.

It is a must visit in Belo Horizonte. I do recommend to have a guide when visiting it, since there are many details to notice in the church, and its history is very interesting!

The new stadium is fantastic. Perfect viewpoints from any seat. Good structure and very well kept. But to get inside is so troublesome. It can literally take you 45 mins to get to your seat. And if you park your car in the stadium parking lot, give it an hour or so to get out. This should be taken care of

I visited during the Christmas and New Year holidays 2019/2020 and was extremely impressed by the photo exhibit, which includes photos from the 1920´s to the 1950´s from Diamantina, MG. I believe it runs through early February, 2020 The documentary was excellent. A wonderful socio-cultural view of the early 20th century in MG.

Theatre with seating capacity of 264 people, a multipurpose room for audiovisual, a library and two cafeterias fill the neoclassical architecture, as well as large exhibition galleries. Visits to the building and the exhibits are free. Tickets for theater performances of dance and music cost R$ 10 (full) and R$ 5 (half). Open Wednesday to Monday from 9am to 21pm.

The CCBBB is located in a lovely building. I saw the Man Ray exhibit, which I believe runs to about early March 2020. While not Brazilian, it is a great show, complemented by a long but extremely interesting documentary, and on the level of anything you will find in New York City or the major cities of Europe. Since I was there over the 2009/2020 holidays, not much else was going on, but well worth the visit.

In the middle of downtown, is a peaceful place to appreciate a well preserved catholic church. They recently repainted the church to its original colors. If you are walking down the city its a good place to spend a quiet time.
