A must visit place in Belo
Feb 2019
I'd been to Praca da Liberdade a couple of times while in Belo and must say the park and the surrounding buildings kinda encompassed all of Minas Gerais architecure and history. The park itself is beautiful and well maintained with people thronging the place all day long. The government buildings surrounding the park are a treat to watch and the palace depicts the history of the town. The only real concern I had was safety as one of my visits was late in the evening and a lot of people felt very shady and dangerous. Could be my perception but I'd still recommend visiting while the sun is still up.

Not A Special Park
Nov 2019
It could have been quite an interesting square in the city center but it was not and it reflected Belo Horizonte generelly which is not a tourist place and basic at best in its presentation and style..Itcould have been done better.

Great place to visit!

There's always a lot of people at this place, doing sports activities, walking by the various museums nearby or even just hanging some time with the nature. Sometimes there are music and cultural events.

Nice square to spend an hour
May 2019 • Solo
I stayed in Belo Horizonte for two nights, on my way back to Sao Paulo after a week in Minas Gerais. My host recommended visiting this square, so before catching a bus on Monday morning, I walked around here.

The square is surrounded by fairly old baroque buildings, as well as a famous building designed by Oscar Niemeyer. In the middle there are benches to sit under the high palm trees. There are many people in jogging clothes, but they are all walking, not running, for some reason. Good to spend an hour sitting, taking some pictures, and walking around. Maybe drink a coffee.

Luciana & Colleagues @ Palacio da Liberdade
Mar 2019 • Couples
On March 31, 2019, my wife and I visited the Palacio da Liberdade in Belo Horizonte. We were very impressed by the quality & helpfulness of the guides, in particular Lu Ian’s, who spoke English perfectly. She was even able to arrange the Pampulha Retro Bus Tour for us, that same day. Muita obrigada, Luciana! Albert & Maria
