Ouro Preto, nestled in the mountains of Minas Gerais, is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its well-preserved colonial architecture and rich history. Once a booming gold rush town, it boasts stunning Baroque churches like São Francisco de Assis and museums such as Museu da Inconfidência. In the city, you can find the renowned Federal University of Ouro Preto, where the country's finest engineers are educated. The city features a mix of luxury hotels and upscale guest houses, called pousadas.
Start your day with breakfast at the colonial-style Pousada Mondego. Explore Praça Tiradentes and visit the Museu da Inconfidência for insights into Brazil's independence movement. Admire the Baroque art at the Church of São Francisco de Assis, then enjoy a traditional lunch at Bené da Flauta. Visit the unique Church of Our Lady of the Rosary and the Casa dos Contos. In the evening, tour the historic Teatro Municipal, dine at O Passo Pizza Jazz, and take a stroll through the illuminated historical center.
