Shopping in BH
Description
Belo Horizonte is also known to offer qualified, original and diversified products from all over the state of Minas Gerais. The capital has become, too, a reference in fashion design, home of great plastic artists and craftsmen, as well as a trade centre of Brazil´s most famous sugar cane brandies (cachaças) and precious stones. High technology and sumptuous shopping centres coexist with the simplicity of the people from Minas Gerais. Bookshops and cafes are centres of encounters and socialization, and the baroque pieces along with other rarities for sale at the antiquaries date back to the history of the state and the people from Minas Gerais themselves. Pick an area of your interest, and Minas Golden shall take you to shops that mostly fit your profile. Qualified professionals are also available, in case you wish any assistance.

Belo Horizonte manufactures and trades wonderful jewellry, attracting tourists from all over the world.
