Review & FAQ:

Belo Horizonte was established in the late 19th century, and it was the first city in Brazil to be planned, with well-organized streets and a carefully curated flow to the city’s design. One of the largest cities in Brazil, Belo Horizonte, known as Beagá by locals, is surrounded by mountains in the southeastern region of the country and is home to bustling street fairs and markets, fascinating museums that cover everything from art to regional history, and a restaurant and food scene that is simply to die for, with local dishes like feijão tropeiro, made with sausage and beans, or torresmo, a salty pork rind.
