Discover Belo Horizonte through its two most iconic markets — one rooted in tradition, the other bursting with creativity.

Start your journey at the Mercado Central, a century-old maze of aromas, colors, and stories.

Taste artisanal cheeses, sweets, cachaças, and snacks while learning how Minas Gerais became Brazil’s culinary soul. Meet local vendors, hear their stories, and feel the heartbeat of everyday life in this beloved market.

Then, walk to the Mercado Novo, where young chefs, brewers, and artists have transformed an old warehouse into a vibrant cultural hub. Taste how Minas cuisine has evolved — blending heritage and innovation in every bite.

By the end, you’ll take home more than photos: stories, flavors, and the feeling of having truly experienced the spirit of Minas Gerais.

Five-star guarantee — if your experience isn’t five stars, you don’t pay for four.

Mercado Central de Belo Horizonte

The Mercado Central is one of Belo Horizonte’s most traditional landmarks and a living portrait of Minas Gerais culture. Founded in 1929, it gathers more than 400 small shops under one roof, offering everything from regional cheeses and sweets to spices, handmade crafts, and local beverages. You'll walk through its narrow corridors surrounded by colorful stalls, observe local vendors preparing snacks such as pão de queijo and pastel de carne, and experience the daily rhythm of a true Brazilian market.
