Pampulha

The Pampulha Architectural Complex, recently declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is the main attraction in Belo Horizonte. With the iconic Pampulha Lagoon and buildings designed by Oscar Niemeyer, such as the Church of São Francisco and the Museum of Modern Art, it's a must-see. It's recommended to set aside at least one day to explore the area, but two days would be ideal to appreciate everything at a leisurely pace, including the Mineirão Stadium, the Pampulha Ecological Park, and Guanabara Park.
