Belvedere

Affluent hillside neighbourhood on the southern edge of the city, with views over Belo Horizonte

Belvedere is one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Belo Horizonte — a hilly area on the southern edge of the city, built up since the 1980s with high-end apartment buildings and gated estates. The name (Italian for "beautiful view") is literal: the long views back across the city to the centro are the neighbourhood's selling point.

For visitors, Belvedere mostly matters as the location of BH Shopping and several upmarket restaurants. There is no real walking circuit, but a drive through it on the way to or from the southern day trips gives a sense of how the city's wealthier residents live.
