Belo Horizonte Travel Guide

Avenida Afonso Pena

The spine of the city is the broad Avenida Afonso Pena, with the Rodoviária at its northern end, in the heart of the downtown area. Just down from the Rodoviária along Avenida Afonso Pena is the obelisk in the Praça Sete, the middle of the hotel and financial district and the city’s busiest part; a few blocks further down Afonso Pena are the trees and shade of the Parque Municipal. A short distance south of the centre is the Praça da Liberdade, Belo Horizonte’s main square, dominated by a double row of imperial palms and important public buildings, while beyond lies the chic area of Savassi, with its restaurants, nightlife and boutiques.
