Means of transport Belo Horizonte

Belo Horizonte is an important regional airport! TAP offers direct flights between Lisbon and BH. Whether you are coming from the interior of Brazil (Rio, São Paulo, Salvador...) or from an international flight, you will definitely land at Confins, as the downtown airport, Pampulha, is now only used for rare domestic flights, especially within the state of Minas Gerais. Tam, Gol and Azul fly to BH from Rio or São Paulo.

Line 1 of the Belo Horizonte metro has been in existence since 1986 and serves distant suburbs of little interest to tourists. However, it serves from the central station (Estação central) the bohemian district of Santa Teresa, where there are youth hostels and nice bars.

The planned Line 3 will be really interesting, as it will serve the whole center of BH.

Line 1 currently has 19 stations, from Eldorado to Vilharino. The central section that is interesting to visit is: Lagoinha - Central (station) - Santa Ifigenia - Santa Teresa.
