Basilica of Our Lady of Lourdes Tours and Activities

The story of Minas Gerais from the 18th century to the present day comes to life via a superb collection of audiovisual and hands-on exhibits.

Museums and stately landmarks surrounded this central square, which has gardens inspired by the designs of the Palace of Versailles.

Two of Minas Gerais’ most important economic activities, mining and metallurgy, are celebrated through creative exhibits inside a neoclassical palace.

You can spend an afternoon browsing the exhibits at Tim UFMG Knowledge Space during your trip to Belo Horizonte. While in the area, you can find time to visit its shops.

This art gallery showcases the life and work of the acclaimed artist Inimá de Paula via original paintings and interactive exhibits.

Belo Horizonte grew from a wooden chapel on this spot. Now this soaring, neo-Gothic church stands here and serves as the city’s spiritual base.
