Belo Horizonte Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

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

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

BH was built to be Brazil's perfect city — it just forgot to stop surprising people.
