Grab a bite at Restaurante do Nazareno. The atmosphere is simple and cozy, and they serve delicious homemade feijoada. It is a great way to fuel up before the evening chill sets in.

Walk to the Museu da Inconfidência. This colonial baroque building houses the memory of the 1789 revolt and features works by Aleijadinho. Take your time inside to appreciate the architecture and archives.

Largo Maestro Otacílio Jacinto da Cunha
Step out to Largo Maestro Otacílio Jacinto da Cunha. This park is just a short walk from the museum and offers a clear view toward the west. Find a spot where you can watch the sky change color.
19:10
End the night at Satélite Lanches. It is one of the most popular bars in town with friendly staff. Enjoy a reasonably priced drink and some food as the city lights begin to twinkle.
Local tip
The museum closes at 18:00 on some days, so check the route and hours before you go. The sunset is toward the WSW, so position yourself with the museum or the Largo in your periphery to catch the full effect.
Check before you go
- Restaurante do Nazareno is open 09:00-18:00. Ensure you arrive before 18:00 to eat.
- Satélite Lanches is open until 03:00, so it will be open after sunset.
