Belo Horizonte was designed from scratch in 1897 — and the grid still holds more surprises than most people realise.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through BH's cultural heart on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Follow clues to the Edifício Niemeyer, Palácio da Liberdade, and Alameda Travessia — three landmarks that trace the city's journey from Beaux-Arts grandeur to modernist icon
• Start whenever suits you and move entirely at your own pace — no time limit, no pressure
• Perfect for families, friend groups, and curious travellers; photo challenges add a fun competitive edge
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
BH was built to be Brazil's perfect city — it just forgot to stop surprising people.

What to expect
At the Edifício Niemeyer, crack the puzzle behind this 1954 Oscar Niemeyer masterpiece — the curved building that anchored BH's reputation as a city of modern architecture.
From there the trail winds to the Palácio da Liberdade, the stately former seat of government set in a manicured park, where you'll learn about the movements that shaped the state of Minas Gerais.
The route finishes at Alameda Travessia in the Praça da Liberdade complex, a tree-lined boulevard that brings together museums, cultural centres, and the energy of one of Brazil's busiest public spaces.
The whole experience takes around two hours — start whenever you like and move entirely at your own pace.
