Savassi is where Belo Horizonte goes out, a grid of bars with plastic tables on the pavement and cold beer that keeps coming. Spend the afternoon at Pampulha, around the lake and Niemeyer's little church, then drive up to Mirante do Mangabeiras for sunset over the hills. In the evening, the bars around Savassi and the Centro fill with a queer crowd that stays until the last bus.
In July, the Parada do Orgulho takes over the centre of the city. Any other weekend, a long boteco lunch with new friends is the whole plan.
