Beautiful church full of history

Beautiful church with golden interior. Ouro Preto has a lot of churches but this one is without a doubt the most impressive. You do have to pay to enter but it is definitely worth it.

Great place. Well organised

Amazing historic church with gold. You need to buy ticket to enter not at entrance, at house around 10meter from here. Fee is 10BRL per adult, 5BRL per kids. It is much more worth than fee. If you visit Ouro Preto, you must plan to visit here. By the way, there are hills around there if you go from Tiradentes plaza. It’s better to think time and energy.

So much for back breaking sweat and forced labour to produce this masterpiece gold plated art work. And yet the slaves were not allowed to worship here for centuries

A beautiful basilic and full of history and cultural significance. A jewel in the Brazilian Crown that was built on the back of the gold riches and the enslaved African people. But, like anywhere in the world, it's part of its history and should be celebrated taking all into account. History cannot be erased or ignored, it must be studied and absorbed us.

Amazing Baroque style church with lots of ornamentation and gold leafing. Well worth the visit.

An exceptional place to organize congress or conferences in a historical city of Brasil. Small and big rooms are available.

Life changing experience. Go go go. But prepare yourself for a ride haha

Great place for conferences

Awesome place and structure.

Top.

Top!!

Great place where you can see the history of the city and a lot of beautiful things. Highly recommended

Excellent person and professional! I have already tried the Samadhi Striking method and it is very powerful because it is possible to release my stress with the training and calm myself with the meditation at the end of the session. I highly recommend it!

Highly recommend. Compelling story-telling about early colonial and revolution history. Signs have English translations which are a bit archaic, and hard to understand, but give a basic story.

This museum had a lot of details on Ouro Preto’s history. It was free! There were English translations but sometimes a bit hard to follow. They allowed people to take pics as well. Highly recommend this place.

Great piece of history of Mina Gerais and Ouro Preto.

the place is very quiet, and there is rubbish scattered everywhere

A shame that photos are not allowed, but it is a great place! I enjoyed the museum and the glimpse it gives into the history of Ouro Preto and Brazil. The staff was super friendly and worked hard to accommodate the disability on one of the people in our party.

The Igreja de São Francisco de Assis in Ouro Preto, Brazil, is a Baroque Catholic church with Rococo elements, celebrated as a masterpiece of Aleijadinho, who designed its facade and interior features. It also houses iconic paintings by Mestre Ataíde, such as the famous ceiling of the nave. The church was recognized as a historic site by IPHAN and included among the Seven Wonders of Portuguese Origin in 2009. Constructed by the Ordem Terceira de São Francisco de Assis, its building began in 1765 and progressed under Aleijadinho’s direction, with significant contributions from other artists. Key stages of construction included the chapel-mor (1774), the altar-mor (1790–1794), and later additions like lateral altars (1829–1890). Structural issues necessitated additional work, including side arcades in 1801. The church underwent various restorations, including 20th-century efforts led by IPHAN, ensuring its preservation as part of Ouro Preto's UNESCO World Heritage status.

Beautiful church, it’s one of the most visited in the area, so keep that in mind

A gem of Baroque architecture nestled atop a sloping square, this church is a visual delight—especially for photography enthusiasts. Your lens can’t help but capture the ornate façade, sculpted by Aleijadinho, bathed in sunlight and shadow. What makes the visit even more memorable is the vibrant soapstone handicraft market right in front of the church. Stalls overflowing with local artisanal sculptures offer an authentic touch and a chance to take home a piece of tradition. A perfect pairing of art, history, and local craftsmanship — a must-visit in Ouro Preto.

Nice to visit, but not the greatest church on earth. Like every other church in Ouro Preto, you have to go pay an entrance fee, either cash or via PIX.

Church with a incredible amount of art work. You can spend hours looking at the ceiling, it’s mesmerizing. The altar is also full very fine craftsmanship. On the back you also have a tiny museum of Aleijadinho’s art work during his life

It is a beautiful church! It was ornated by Aleijadinho! It is very beautiful and intetesting! It really worths a visit! The visit costs 10 reais. There are another church in town to visit for free. Both were ornate by him! This one is more beautiful! Visit both!

Visit this church, you will NOT be disappointed. It is a testament of the powerful craftsmanship of Aleijadinho, the man who sculpted without his hands. He sculpted the altar while not being able to attend mess on this church, being black and black people where not allowed inside churches. The church also holds the painting of Mestre Ataíde, the painting in the ceiling that is his most well known piece. This church is a powerful expression of Ouro Preto's and Brazil's faith and artistry.

Beautiful view of the city. About an hour walking up a very steep hill.

A bit long steep drive on pavement to go to the mirante. Very nice viewpoint, especially with the night lights, to see the historical city.

Really awesome view of the area! It's not easy to get it since the street is really steep but it's worth the effort.

Very steep uphill. Don't try to drive there, instead hire a local professional driver. Better to have a local tour guide.

It’s worth visiting but please drive there! Unless you have plenty of time

Nice view of the city. Getting there by car is not for the faint of heart.

Such a beautiful view but sadly, it's completely abandoned and neglected. Needs maintenance, lots of it!

Free admission and a large spacious museum with English signs make this a winner. This place is soaked in history, take the tine to visit while in Ouro Preto.

Worthwhile to look around and learn about money and gold. One of their employees showed us around. She was so enthusiastic and showed us every room!

This is the largest and grandest building in town. It's history as a residence and mint is documented.. there are exhibits on coinage and the town's history. There are also spaces to show how the rooms may have looked in original use. The most poignant are the exhibition s in the basement which contain slave paraphernalia.

The architecture is great. It is a museum like no other but I think it should have more digital features to make it more interesting.

Very interesting building (archtectcure and engineering wise), a broad collection of many different "currencies" used through out the years (due to a chronical inflation process that ended in the middle of the 1990's with the inauguration of then Real as Brazilian currency and inflation control)

This is certainly one of the best museums to visit in Ouro Preto. Feel the colonial and baroque atmosphere of ancient Brazil.

A glimpse in one of the first financial buildings of the country, it is possible to visit the building and the garden for free it also has an exhibition of colonial artifacts, Very well located.

Cool.

That's a unique place and the entrance is free.

The church made for the black people, when they couldn't go to the same church as the white people.

A beautiful church!

Mandatory visit for sightseeing.

I visited this restaurant in January 2025 with my family for dinner. I have to start by mentioning the amazing service; the staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Despite our table placing a large order for six people, the food came out quickly. The food was delicious! Everything we ordered tasted great, especially the mandioca (yuca). The building where the restaurant is located has remained unchanged for many years, and the servers were kind enough to share its history with us.

Great experience and wonderful view! Everyone’s food was excellent and the service was particularly good!

Beautiful restaurant. Average food quality and quite bad service. Prices are not justified for the quality. Quite empty for dinner. They serve typical Minas Gerais food ONLY FOR LUNCH! Don’t recommend it!

Do not try this terrible restaurant. I made booking with the girl yesterday for dinner on Sunday evening. She took it without telling us that it was not ooen on Sunday. We waited in the cold air for an hour only to find out it was close on Sunday!

They are famous and popular restaurant at Ouro Preto. So, don’t forget to make reservation. Otherwise, you need to wait with long line. Their atmosphere, staff services, and of course food was very good. Their dishes were individual, just the right amounts. Their price was also attractive range, but amazing quality.

Good food and ambient. Get really busy so plan to arrive early.

I highly recommend making a reservation (on the restaurants site), to avoid any waiting lines. The food was incredible, but a bit pricey. The staff was kind and did their work well. The place its self is also amazing and the views are spectacular, BUT (as going to any other place in the city) it does require walking as it has very little parking spaces near. TIP: This restaurant is better during the afternoon (has more plate options, and the views are better) Overall, it was a great experience.

I don't often regret eating somewhere. There was only one option to eat which consisted of chewy pork, very salty beans, and Bolognese that tasted like it came from a tin. The portions are big but the quality is so low

Food is only served till 2pm. Good selection of cheese and great service. Local goods, cheaper than in other Artesanal Shops, feels more authentic.

Ok

👍

(Translated by Google) 1000/10 Delicious homemade food for R$27.00 per plate, located right next to Gelateria Giuseppe, meaning you can have a SUPER GOOD and CHEAP lunch and then head downstairs for your gelato. The service at Garapinha is excellent; the waiter who served me was super helpful. He said they offer a mini version of the traditional PF (Portuguese for "PF"). Since I don't eat much, I ordered this version, which cost only R$25.00. The flavor of this homemade food is surreal! Remember that on the ground floor you can buy souvenirs from your trip; in my case, I bought cheese and dulce de leche, which were also very reasonably priced. I RECOMMEND IT! (Original) 1000/10 comida caseira deliciosa por R$ 27,00 o prato feito, restaurante localizado bem próximo à Gelateria Giuseppe, ou seja, vc almoça SUPER BEM e BARATO e já desce um cadinho e toma o seu gelato. O atendimento no restaurante Garapinha é excelente, o rapaz que me atendeu foi super solicito. E disse que eles oferecem a opção mini do tradicional PF, eu que não como muito pedi essa versão que custou APENAS R$ 25,00. Surreal o sabor dessa comida caseira! Lembrando que no térreo vc pode comprar lembrancinhas da sua viagem, no meu caso comprei queijo e doce de leite, no precinho tbm. RECOMENDO!

(Translated by Google) A real find! The dish of the day (roast chicken) comes with salpicão (a type of Brazilian salad), lettuce, rice, and beans, and is very affordable. The food is perfect, it's as good as any expensive restaurant. It seems quite traditional, it's not very big, so depending on the time there's a waiting line. Downstairs there's a shop with cheeses and sweets with a huge variety of options. It's definitely worth a visit. (Original) Um achado, a comida é o prato do dia ( no dia frango assado) acompanhado de salpicão, alface, arroz e feijão com preço muito acessível. A comida é perfeita, não perde pra nenhum restaurante caro. Parece bem tradicional, não é muito grande, então dependendo do horário tem fila de espera. Na parte de baixo tem a loja com queijos e doces com uma variedade imensa de opções. Vale muito a pena conhecer.

(Translated by Google) The food was actually good, without much variety of meats or side dishes, but well seasoned. The place was small and the service was good, I found it a bit stuffy, but the location makes up for it! Lunch is not expensive and there is no scale, so you can eat as much as you want!! (Original) Comidinha tava até boa, sem muita variedade de carnes ou guarnições mas bem temperada. Espaço pequeno e atendimento até bonzinho achei meio abafado mas a localização compensa bastante! O almoço não é caro e é sem balança então dá pra comer a vontade!!

(Translated by Google) All-you-can-eat food for a fixed price (R$43.00, today, July 24, 2025). However, the food is kind of bland. You eat and don't feel like going back for more. There were few meat options; there was only sausage, and then they added some chicken. It wasn't tasty; it was pretty average. I didn't think it was worth it. And the space is pretty cramped. Oh, and they don't serve fresh juices. Since we don't drink soda, we had to order water. (Original) Comida a vontade por um preço fixo (R$43,00, hoje 24/07/2025). Porem a comida é meio sem graça. Voce come e nao tem vontade de repetir. Pouca opcao de carne, so tinha linguiça e depois colocaram um franguinho. Nao é saboroso, é bem mais ou menos. Nao achei que valeu a pena. E o espaço é bem apertado. Ah, nao servem sucos naturais. Como nao tomamos refrigerante , so nos restou pedir agua.

(Translated by Google) Disappointing, the fixed price of 43 reais doesn't do the food justice. We went at 1 p.m., and the food was cold, with no seasoning whatsoever, and even the salt was missing. There was no ice for drinks, and only artificial juice. The waitress who served us seemed to be having a bad day, rude. The tables were cramped, and the bathroom was out of toilet paper and hand paper. I don't recommend it. (Original) Decepcionante, o preço fixo 43 reais não faz nem um pouco jus a comida. Fomos as 13h e a comida estava gelada, sem Tempero nenhum, até o sal faltou. Não tinha gelo para bebida, suco só refresco artificial. A moça que nos atendeu na mesa, parecia não estar em um bom dia, grosseira. Mesas apertadas, banheiro estava sem papel higiênico e para mãos. Não recomendo.

(Translated by Google) The food was cold and the price is $43 reais per plate. All-you-can-eat buffet. I hadn't seen the previous reviews here on Google. Unfortunately. (Original) Comida fria e o valor encontra-se em $43 reais por prato. Self service a vontade. Não tinha visto as avaliações anteriores aqui do Google. Infelizmente.

(Translated by Google) The price charged is very high for what's delivered. We paid 43.00 per person. The food isn't bad, but some of it is greasy, like the potatoes and meats. My boyfriend got sick, and I was belching old fat the rest of the day. There are few meat options (just sausage, pork fillet, and fried chicken). The place is very cramped, both for serving and eating, and it looks unkempt and dirty. I left smelling of grease, which I hate. I wouldn't go back and I don't recommend it. (Original) O valor cobrado é muito alto em relação ao que é entregue. Pagamos 43,00 por pessoa. A comida não é ruim, mas algumas são gordurosas, como a batata e as carnes. Meu namorado passou mal e eu fiquei arrotando gordura velha o resto do dia. Há poucas opções de carnes (apenas linguiça, filé de porco e frango endopado). Ambiente muito apertado, tanto para se servir quanto para comer, além de ter um aspecto de mal cuidado e sujo. Saí cheirando a gordura, coisa que eu odeio. Não voltaria e não recomendo.

(Translated by Google) The food is really bad. Don't be fooled by the price, it's not worth it. If the city is busy, it's definitely a terrible deal. (Original) Comida bem ruim. Não se enganem com o preço, pois não vale a pena. Se a cidade estiver movimentada é certeza que é um péssimo negócio.

A MUST in the town !! Delicious , cheap , great environment!! Grateful to found it !!

Self service type of place - you pay for the weight. The food was very tasty and not in fair price range - it is a good option for one who doesn't know the local cuisine and wants to try a bit of everything. Place is not very touristic, rather for locals and students. The lady from the kitchen also explained me, what each dish is and how usually people eat it (combine things etc.), tho we spoke in Portuguese (I don't know their English proficiency). Strongly recommend!

Feels like a hidden, secret restaurant. The food is very good

Beautiful restaurant with friendly service. Really delicious food. The atmosphere with all its historic decor and character is just marvelous!

This place is super cool. It's historic and a great way to try mineiro food. And they have scotch! Lol.

Spectacular place, the building itself warrants a visit. The food is excellent, true mineiro specialities, overall very well executed

Enjoyed eating in the court yard. Great decor.

A great local experience with an authentic charm, fantastic view, wonderful food and great service. I tried the "rabada" and it was fantastic, good portion and nice presentation coupled with a nice local choppe of beer. Cozinha Mineira as it's best.

The restaurant has a charming interior with beautiful artisanal decorations, creating a cozy atmosphere. However, the food left much to be desired. The ribs were overly dry and heavily salted, which made the meal less enjoyable.

I hate to be that unpopular guy, but I have to be honest, I didn't enjoy my dinner here. The average price is quite pricey, but I suppose the ingredients are probably sourced from miles away. So the costs added up, which I could look past that. I had the empanadinhos with stuffed cheese for the starter and it was incredibly salty. I'm aware that cheese can be salty, but this was just another level. Then I had bacalhau for the main. Despite the price point being among the top dishes, I had my hope so high that it would redeem my experience. Unfortunately, No. This was also incredibly salty, which I assumed it was due to the amount of olives they threw in this tiny dish. Put it this way, the portion of olives was half of the dish, whilst the other half was bacalhau & potatoes! I have no issues with olives, in fact I like them! But for this dish it was a fail. Let's hope that I was just unlucky. Let's assume that maybe these 2 dishes were never popular.

Great food n nice restaurant The portion was big, I can’t finish the whole , may consider to share for 2 pax with desert n drinks

Great food accompanied by friendly service. Our frango com quiabo (chicken with okra) was delicious. For dessert, we followed the server’s recommendation and tried the cheese ice-cream served with warm goiaba (guava) syrup. It was the perfect finale of our meal. The restaurant is situated in a former senzala, a historical slave quarter from colonial Brazil. The added layer of significance gave the experience an extra depth.

I am visiting Ouro Preto after 22 years. Was brought to this restaurant by some friends. We had arroz, angu and frango ensopado com ora pronobis, the flavour was awesome. Definitely recommend this place, reasonably priced and show the best of “cozinha mineira”. Service was top notch, assistant manager Angela Maria was very courteous.

The food was really good and the Chef Gilberto, was so kind and friendly with us, he took us around the place and told us a bit of the history of the house, showed us everything! The place is charming, beautiful and warming! We loved it!

The town that gave birth to the mining tradition in Minas Gerais and Brazil. Its streets are full of history. Typical mineirense food can be found everywhere with amazing dishes.

Interesting view into the city's history. The description is in Portuguese and English.

Beautiful! Very recommended to visit this place. Very romantic, cozy, quiet and super safe! If you have troubles with walking then I will recommend to not go here or just grab a (motor) taxi everywhere, because you need to walk a lot of hills up and down to visit the beautiful spots

Another great historical place to visit. We were amazed about the monuments. People are so friendly and the food was one of the best we ever had.

Almost perfect. Just missed the happy hour so it’s a little more pricy but fantastic little place!

Beautiful, unforgettable !! Too much to see, great food, amazing architecture. Skip Mariana and do a quick visit to Congonhas.

You gotta walk these streets for the immersive experience!

It's so pretty! I love it!

Gorgeous example of a church of the late (rococó) baroque style.

One must stop when in Ouro Preto... Simply outstanding...

That's an impressive sightseeing

open at 9 AM

Amazing art work

I'm a fan of polychrome

Worth the visit. A lot of interesting stuff about minas gerais history.

Beautiful place with lots of history

Very good local art

(Translated by Google) We entered the museum unpretentiously, as it was one of the few attractions open on Monday in Ouro Preto, and it was a really cool experience. I'm not religious, but learning a little more about the symbols, images, and customs was really cool. The collection is well-maintained, and the staff is attentive. The visit (which is paid, but the price is quite low) is quick. It's worth it. (Original) Entramos despretensiosamente no museu pois era uma das poucas atrações abertas na segunda em Ouro Preto e foi uma experiência bem bacana. Não sou religiosa, mas conhecer um pouco mais sobre as simbologias, imagens e costumes foi muito legal. O acervo é bem cuidado e os funcionários são atenciosos, rapidinho se faz a visita (que é paga mas o valor é bem baixo). Vale a pena

(Translated by Google) An absolutely magical and special place. There are dozens of oratories from different eras. It's a joy to find well-preserved objects from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The building is also preserved and boasts a modern and exquisite infrastructure that hasn't destroyed its original features. (Original) Um lugar absolutamente mágico e especial. São dezenas de oratórios, de diversas épocas. É uma alegria encontras objetos do seculo XVII, XVIII, XIX bem conservados. O prédio também está preaervado e tem uma infraestrutura moderna e primorosa, que não destruiu as características originais.

(Translated by Google) Always learning about our country's culture. This museum is incredibly rich in religious culture and has much to teach. (Original) Sempre aprendendo sobre a cultura de nosso país. Este museu é riquíssimo quando o assunto é cultura religiosa e tem muito a ensinar.

(Translated by Google) A precious space dedicated to Brazilian sacred art, especially oratories. The cultural center is divided into three floors that bring together the most varied types of oratories and sacred images that tell our story and record the most varied manifestations of Catholic religiosity through their supports, that is, their oratories that were part of the house, travels, and even personal accessories. An excellent visit. (Original) Precioso espaço dedicado a arte sacra brasileira, especialmente oratórios. O equipamento cultural está dividido em três pavimentos que reúnem os mais variados tipos de oratórios e imagens sacras que contam a nossa história e registram as mais variadas manifestações da religiosidade católica por meio de seus suportes, isto é, seus oratórios que faziam parte da casa, das viagens e até mesmo dos acessórios pessoais. Um excelente passeio.

Aleijadinho’s house tour was great! Got to see a pretty well preserved heritage house, the tour was in Portuguese (my friend translated for me an english speaker). Only thing I didn’t really understand was the place sells Cachaça (mini tasting session post house tour). Not sure what was the link between selling Cachaça in Aleijadinho’s house when he didn’t brew Cachaca.

Learned a bit of history and heard some very nice stories. We were impressed by how well our guide could speak english. Overall, the experience worthed it!

I had a wonderful tour here! They even could provide me with an excellent English tour guide. It’s a very interesting place to visit.

You can visit it for free, it's quite interesting house, showing how people were leaving in oast in this city. Plus you can buy good cashaça there

An interesting tour of an 18th century house featuring lots of objects from that time.

Lovely and charming. There is no entrance fee so everyone should visit it!

Ok

Just in the main square of Ouro Preto it opens early and closes late at night you can get a quick bite and also a meal .

Awful place for snacks. The attendants don't know what they are selling, and there is a huge lack of hygiene. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to eat.

Really helpful staff and the prices there are cheap

(Translated by Google) Excellent service and a cozy atmosphere, perfect for a late afternoon snack. But the highlight is the cheese bread: warm, crispy on the outside, and super soft on the inside. One of the best I've ever had! It's definitely worth the visit just for that. I highly recommend it! (Original) Atendimento excelente e ambiente acolhedor, perfeito para um lanche no fim da tarde. Mas o grande destaque vai para o pão de queijo: quentinho, crocante por fora e super macio por dentro. Um dos melhores que já comi! Vale muito a pena a visita só por ele. Recomendo demais!

(Translated by Google) Cold coxinha, poorly fried, with catupyri only on the bottom (cold😐), and it was really expensive. The only nice and polite attendant was the lady at the cashier (very friendly, unlike the others)! I shouldn't have gone in and I don't recommend it😑 (Original) Coxinha fria, mal frita e com catupyri só no fundo (gelado😐), e foi caro pra caramba. A única atendente legal e educada foi a senhorinha do caixa (muito simpática diferente dos outros)! Não devia ter entrado e nem recomendo😑

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere is quite simple, but it has the best traditional cheese bread I've ever had—and the cornmeal pastry is also very tasty. I recommend a black coffee with cheese bread to start your tour of Ouro Preto :) (Original) O ambiente é bem simples, mas tem o melhor pãozinho de queijo tradicional que já comi - e destaque para o pastel de angu que também é muito gostoso. Recomendo um cafézin preto com pão de queijo, pra iniciar o tour por Ouro Preto :)

Inexpensive local restaurant. They had a lunch buffet set up when we arrived. A nice selection of Brazilian foods. Informal. If you don't see something you would like, just ask! We went with Brazilians, so not sure whether you'd have success only speaking English.

Very welcoming service with great food and coffee. We had lots of questions about the coffee and tried a few. The service was very helpful und helped us with lots of information and guidance. Wonderful!

What a lovely hotel and restaurant. We enjoyed a few days here in town and I could not have liked the stay here more! Perfect location!

Risoto is out of this world. Great vegan options. Atmosphere is friendly and cozy. Service is impeccable. New favorite for our visits to Ouro Preto.

Food was excellent, but we had to wait a great deal of time for waitress

Nice little café with a short menu but good food and excellent service.

The desserts there are awesome, also they have a homemade coffee that is delicious

Nice Cafe with a beautiful dessert

Atmosphe is nice. Some food is good and some not for example Arancini is so bad, it is super bland with strong cheese smell.

Great food, service and atmosphere.

Beautiful! I recommend the pepperoni pizza. Im normally someone who prefers margarita plain pizza but my partners pepperoni pizza was definitely the best I've tasted.

Fantastic Italian food. The pizzas are great and the pasta is made by hand.

Great quality. Very nice experience

Authentic Italian pizza style . Best marguerita. Tomato sauce was absolutely divine. Fast service and prep; polite and accommodating staff who made my three year old a little bed with chairs so he could sleep; my 6 yo had pizza dough to play. Amazing wheat local beer. Great background music, not loud , so relaxing.

Really good restaurant with a great ambiente and lovely staff. The food was exceptionally.

I'm only rating this as 4 in fairness with other mines I visited around Ouro Preto. The mine is relatively small, but has all features I have seen in others. Stuff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of mining in this town. Easy access and fair price.

It's nice but too expensive for what it is. It's nice to have a guide and explanation about minerals and cave.. but it's a 20min walk for 70 reais per person.

Well, it was ok, but 70 BRL is bit pricy for a walk straight down the mine and back. Nothing for people with claustrophobia.

Interesting but quite expensive for a short tour, the staff was nice though

Very interesting tour that will give you a glimpse of what the slaves went through centuries ago. Very impressive tunnels carved with basic hand tools through hard rocks

A stunning combination of nature, history and knowledge about how wealthy is built upon people labor (here, upon slavery). Use the opportunity of the visit, also, to reflect about why and how our world is whatnit is, however, could be better.

Not very big but the people were very friendly.

A wet mine located in Ouro Preto. Honestly speaking it is not very big, but the guide (who spoke only Portuguese and a little bit of English) was able to explain what was going on. Be prepared for a little bit of climbing. There was even a small waterfall inside the mine. It was okay, good for about a half hour visit.

Official ticket price 70. When he sees your shocked face it goes to 50 for cash. You decide not to go and look at what's next to see in your mobile, then he goes "half price if it's only you". Hard put off. I didn't go.

Very interesting, we participated the twenty minutes tour. The guide speaks English, and he’s very funny. We got to know the history of Chico Rei and everything. The mine tour experience itself is amazing, it’s a blend of exploration, history and knowledge. Highly recommended.

It would have been excellent to go inside but compared to other attractions in the town, the entrance price was ridiculous at R$70 per person

Our visit was okay. We got to walk down two mine corridors, the second being rather challenging. The guide’s English was not exceptional; often we understood his Spanish better. We got good stories about the miners and the types of stones and other materials found here, but missed their subtleties.

Nice mine, interesting stop inside, it's not possible to go really really deep but sufficiently for a good experience. The guide I had spoke Spanish/ Portuguese only but was very friendly and funny. And free cachaca for the ticket, 60 Reis.

Very interesting tour of a former goldmine. Lasts about 20mins. Bigger guys need to crouch down quite a bit, but it's worth it. The history of the mine and the slaves working there are brought to life very vividly by the guide. Tours are available in Portuguese, Spanish and English. At the time of writing it cost 50 R$ / person.

Massively overpriced. The guide was good and informative but the tour is really brief. A couple of small caves. Really disappointing given the cost.

The medieval mining methods here are exceptional. The rock beddings and striations are followed closely in chiselling.

Wonderful guides, very informative. Loved it!

Great place. Watch you they try to make you pay 70 then they go gown to 30 ;)

Not much explanation provided in the mine about its operation.

This mine is less of a "adventurous" one and a more "historical" one. The guides are well educated in the history of enslavement in Brazil and, specially, in the mining industry at the time in Ouro Preto. We can walk around the mines with in deep explanation of how the mining process was, how the slaves worked and what each part of the mine was there for. I was very impressed about some of the information given. I recommend this mine especially for those with kids who are more interested in history and don't want to walk on tight spots and tunnels.

Nice tour guides, pretty cool experience. Check ahead of you need English speaker

Incredible interior. The alters were rococo and just incredible. Part of a three church ticket. Well worth the visit.

The Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Antônio Dias in Ouro Preto, Brazil, began as a chapel around 1699, built by bandeirante Antônio Dias and later elevated to a Matriz in 1705. A new structure replaced the deteriorated original in 1727, with construction led by Manuel Francisco Lisboa, father of Aleijadinho, both buried in the church. The building features a design typical of early 18th-century churches and includes unique interior spaces such as ambulatories and tribunes. Construction faced delays, with significant progress made between 1741 and 1770, including intricate carvings attributed to notable artisans. Maintenance and enhancements occurred through the 19th century, including the addition of an adro and iron gates. Several religious brotherhoods were active in the Matriz, though much of their documentation is lost. The church remains a historic and cultural landmark. The Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Conceição in Ouro Preto is a valuable artistic and historical landmark, showcasing elements from three Baroque phases of Brazil-Colônia. Its interior decoration, attributed to Manoel Francisco Lisboa, features a richly detailed altar-mor with twisted columns, angels, and a transitioning style from Joanino Baroque to Rococo. The nave's eight older altars embody dense, high-relief carvings typical of the Joanino style, adorned with floral motifs, mythical creatures, and cherubs. The church also contains symbolic velários, oval panels depicting apostles and saints, and an extensive statuary collection, including prominent figures like Nossa Senhora da Conceição and saints of the altar-mor. Its unique features, such as altars adorned with carrancas, reflect its distinct cultural and artistic heritage.

Interesting display on the restoration process.

Nice place to visit

(Translated by Google) Enchanting. After many years of waiting for the church's restoration, I was able to visit this jewel of Minas Gerais' Baroque style. The church is spectacular. The carvings and imagery are fascinating. Brilliance and beauty are everywhere. Not to mention the representative collection of sacred elements typical of a Baroque church. There is also a small museum dedicated to Aleijadinho, one of the great artists of our Baroque period. And at the foot of the altar of Our Lady of Good Death lies his grave. (Original) Encantadora. Depois de muitos anos de espera devido ao restauro da igreja consegui conhecer esta joia do barroco mineiro. A igreja é espetacular. Talhas e imaginárias fascinantes. Brilho e beleza por todas as partes. Não bastasse o conjunto representativo de elementos sacros típicos de uma igreja a barroca. Há também um pequeno museu dedicado ao Aleijadinho, um dos grandes artistas do nosso barroco. E aos pés do altar de Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte encontra-se a sua campa.

Great location and really nice view! The owners are extremely kind and willing to help. Kitchen facilities available for guests, "hostel-like" but with double rooms + private bathroom besides the collective rooms. Good value for price.

Good hostel with an really nice view. There is a kitchen. Staff is helpful. A little bit far from the center. Be prepared to climb up !

Hi. It's really great to be here. I highly recommend It.

Amazing place and amazing breakfast

(Translated by Google) Wonderful experience in Ouro Preto, we arrived very late and were welcomed by Rômulo, who welcomed us very well, giving us tips about the city. A quiet place, beautiful outdoor area and the monkeys are a show in themselves. The room is exactly as in the photo, a little tight, but we had no problems with mobility. It has a balcony with an incredible view of the historic center. The staff are super attentive, Tiane welcomed us at breakfast, which was very plentiful. Mary from cleaning is a phenomenon, we planned to come back to chat with her more. We loved it so much ❤️ (Original) Experiência maravilhosa em Ouro Preto, chegamos bem tarde e fomos recepcionados pelo Rômulo, que nos recebeu muito bem, dando dicas da cidade. Um lugar tranquilo, área externa linda e os miquinhos são um show à parte. O quarto é exatamente como na foto, um pouco apertado, mas não tivemos nenhum problema quanto a mobilidade. Tem uma varanda com uma vista incrível do centro histórico. Os funcionários são super atenciosos, Tiane nos recepcionou no café da manhã, que foi muito farto. Mary da limpeza é um fenômeno, combinamos de voltar pra bater mais papo com ela. Amamos muito ❤️

(Translated by Google) Tiane's reception and the other staff were wonderful. The guesthouse has a hostel-like feel and is simple, but it offers everything we need after a day of walking: a clean bed, a hot shower and silence at night. Breakfast is served with a wonderful view and surrounded by nature and monkeys *-* (if you don't like wild animals, it's best not to go there :)). The guesthouse is well located and, in general, it's easy to walk around the area. I would go again :) (Original) A recepção da Tiane e demais acolhimento dos colaboradores foi uma delícia. A pousada tem uma pegada meio hostel e é simples, porém oferece tudo que precisamos após um dia de andança, cama limpinha, banho quente e silêncio a noite. O café da manhã acontece com uma vista maravilhosa e em meio total a natureza e a macaquinhos *-* (quem não gosta de animais silvestres melhor não ir até lá :)). A pousada fica bem localizada e de forma geral, é tranquilo andar a pé pelas redondezas. Iria novamente :)

The food is awesome and has many options the prices are really fair.

(Translated by Google) I bought a pizza and it came with toasted onions and a strong garlic smell and taste. Terrible! If I could, I wouldn't give it any stars. (Original) Comprei uma pizza e ela veio com cebola torrada e com cheiro e gosto forte de alho . Pessimo! Se pudesse não coloca estrela nenhuma.

(Translated by Google) I recommend... Ordered dish, very well served, with the ordered drink and very well prepared. Quiet environment with simplicity and excellent service! (Original) Recomendo... Prato pedido, muito bem servido, com a bebida pedida e muito bem preparada. Ambiente tranquilo com simplicidade e excelente atendimento!

(Translated by Google) The produce there is wonderful. Try the "mineirinho" (a type of bread) that comes out every day at 3:00 PM. It's delicious. (Original) Os produtos de lá são maravilhosos. Provem o "mineirinho" que sai todos os dias às 15:00. É um pão delicioso.

(Translated by Google) The products are good, but there could be a better structure to receive customers. (Original) Os produtos são bons, mas poderia ter melhor estrutura pra receber clientes

(Translated by Google) Traditional bakery right in the center of Ouro Preto. (Original) Padaria tradicional bem no centro de Ouro Preto.

We have been coming here for over 10 yrs. We’re happy the service and food is back to the quality we are used to!! Last year the service had fallen seriously, but now there is a new house manager and a great team of attentive and polite staff! Good job for the management. The food is always good!

One of the best restaurants I’ve been! The food is fantastic, the service also amazing and the environment couldn’t be better! We really recommend it! Also the Ouro Preto view is stunning…

The steak risotto was truly one of the best meals I have ever had. I loved this whole experience and will definitely be coming back next time I'm in OP. muita brigadaaaa!! <3

Probably the best restaurant in Ouro Preto, certainly the best Italian one. After 4 months travelling all over Brazil, for the 1st time I found a REAL ITALIAN PIZZA ! The parmesan cream fettuccine with "bife de chorizo" (the Argentinian way) was absolutely delicious. Look at how an Italian rolls the fettuccine properly around the fork... 😉 Good selection of red wines as well. Absolutely recommended.

Nice restaurant, good food, although I expected a bit more from the Risotto Bianco than just a steak with creamy rice. The flavours were somewhat ordinary. Disappointing is that no one in this fancy place spoke English or Spanish and that they don't have a physical menu, so I couldn't at least use a translator.

Great atmosphere, location and views are astonishing and food is really good, one of the best experiences having a drink with something to eat in Ouro Petro

Beautiful restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. I really enjoyed all the food and it's presentation. Highly recommended for anyone who is visiting or staying in Ouro Preto.

The restaurant is pretty, with nice patio seating that’s great for enjoying a drink with friends and family. The food is just okay; I was expecting more from the tutu dish. Since it’s a share plate for two, it would be nice to receive two eggs instead of one egg cut in half. On the other hand, the parmigiana was delicious!

Vegan options, very nice waiters, very nice vibe. A bit expensive but not much. Higly reccomended!!!

Lovely restaurant in the heart of Ouro Preto. They have a small garden where you can sit as well. It’s just a bit tricky to get down the steps to the garden because they are really steep, so nothing for wheelchairs. The food was delicious, we had Filet Mignon with blue cheese risotto and fish with rice and cheese. The service for the drinks was a bit slow, but they were very friendly. Great restaurant to visit in Ouro Preto.

Came on a Thursday night, we tried to order five different dishes, and they were out of every single one. They should’ve just closed for the night instead of making people choose from a two item menu, it would save them the embarrassment of responding “no” to everything clients attempt to order. 🥲 The waiters were very nice, but I feel bad for them.

Plates too small, for the price I have eaten much better and better quality in Ouro Preto.

Perfect environment, service outstanding, food can even begin to talk. It was a great experience and I do highly recommended.

The food was average (had a Parmigiana), service slow, but courteous. Many mosquitos, probably due to the water running 10 meters away. Location is nice, you can eat outside, on a terrace, which is strangely enough difficult to find in Ouro Preto. Price ok.

Tourist trap! Low variety, average taste, and poor service. Avoid if yo can

Very pleasant place and friendly services. Food was nice.

Cool place

The Igreja Matriz de Santa Efigênia, located in Ouro Preto, Brazil, is an important Baroque church with strong Afro-Brazilian cultural elements. Built by the Confraternity of the Rosary, composed of enslaved and freed black individuals, its construction began in 1734 and concluded in 1785. Various notable artists participated in its development, including Aleijadinho, who contributed a soapstone sculpture for the facade. The church has a unique rectangular floor plan, innovative architectural features, and symbolic decorations, such as a representation of a Black pope in the chancel. Over the years, it underwent several modifications and restorations, including a major restoration from 2008 to 2014 to address structural and decorative issues. It was officially listed as a historic site in 1939.

This was the least impressive of the five churches that I visited. If you are short on time I would recommend skipping this one. However, the views from the viewpoint next door are very good.

Beautiful part of Brazilian cultural, religious and historical significance. Another work of art in the heart of Minas Gerais and Ouro Preto. A must see.

Ok

This place is so amazing, pure history.

What an amazing guide, lots of knowledge and really amazing mines! You really feel what it was like to live/work as a slave back then. Although there was a bit of a language barrier the tour was amazing!

A great mine to visit in Ouro Preto. It's very interesting to put yourself in the position of the miners back in time.

Neat place to tour, history of the mine was intense

(Translated by Google) Incredible and immersive experience! Having this experience left a deep impression on me! The mine is incredible, beautiful and at the same time heavily marked by history. The host Jefferson is an incredible person, friendly, humble, and a wealth of knowledge, he made the experience much more immersive and intense, thank you for everything. I highly recommend it. (Original) Experiência incrível e imersiva! Ter essa vivência me marcou profundamente! A mina é incrível, linda e ao mesmo tempo com uma carga pesada marcada pela história. O anfitrião Jefferson é uma pessoa incrível, simpatico, humilde, e um poço de conhecimento, ele tornou a experiência bem mais imersiva e intensa, gratidão por tudo. Super recomendo.

(Translated by Google) An incredible experience worth the visit and the learning experience with Mr. Jefferson. We learned not only about the mine, but also about the history of those who lived through the golden and dark years of the era. He also gave us tips on off-the-beaten-track tours. Thank you, Mr. Jefferson, for your hospitality and knowledge! (Original) Uma experiência incrível que vale a visita e o aprendizado obtido junto ao senhor Jefferson. Não aprendemos com ele apenas sobre a mina, mas sobre a história daqueles que vivenciaram os anos áureos e sombrios da época. Além de dicas de visitações que estão fora do circuito oficial. Obrigada senhor Jefferson pelo acolhimento e conhecimento propiciados!

(Translated by Google) A unique experience. Jeferson welcomes us with knowledge, warmth, and patience. He conveys information orally, with didacticism and wit. He contextualizes Ouro Preto's history within the world, connecting historical processes. I recommend him and will return when I can. (Original) Uma experiência ímpar. Com conhecimento, simpatia e paciência, Jeferson nos recebe. Transmite as informações oralmente, com didática e sagacidade. Relaciona contextualmemte a história de Ouro Preto no mundo, relacionando os processos históricos. Recomendo e quando puder retornarei.

(Translated by Google) In addition to the historical evidence left behind to corroborate the stories of colonial Brazil, such as the mine itself, the stories that contextualize the entire experience are a spectacle in themselves, and Jefferson, the historian guide, masterfully conveys a true sense of timelessness. It's well worth the visit for the historical enrichment of visitors. (Original) Além das provas históricas deixadas para corroborar as histórias da época do Brasil colonial como a própria mina, as histórias que situam todo o contexto são um show a parte onde o guia é historiador Jefferson sabe fazer com muita mestria trazendo uma real sensação direto do túnel do tempo. Vale muito a pena para enriquecimento histórico dos visitantes.

We really enjoyed this guided tour of the property. Lots of great information on the property, history and artifacts. The tour is in Portuguese so without a translator it might be harder to understand everything.

Excellent guided tour. Explains the history of gold mining in Ouro Preto, the family that owned the mine and the role of slavery. A visit to the house is followed by a walk through a small mine and a description of the separation of the gold from the mud. Nice views from the gardens. Tours in English available. Best to check tour times before going.

No good, complicated process. Found the receptionist disrespectful. Do not recommend going. Further, you make a comment as if you know who I am or when I came. You don't know, so don't assume, you make yourself look unintelligent (desiring to use a more harsh word). You don't know my experience, when I came, who I am, or what my experience was. By responding, you show the true nature of yourself as an arrogant, petulant child who tries to gaslight and invalidate someone else's experience. THIS IS MY REVIEW. I WONT BE SILENCED! AGAIN, I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE!

Great! English tours available BUT arrange a day beforehand to ensure. Wasn't available on the spot when I showed up (which I didn't expect). Good value for the money, yet the mining part is rather small/short and worth combining it with another mine in town.

This was a really amazing experience at the Palacio D'Ouro. My family and I were visiting from the United States and we had to come to this based on the reviews and I have to say it did not disappoint. Such a well-kept place and amazing history plus we had a celebrity walking us through the event which was fantastic.

I paid R$ 100 for a 2h long guided tour. There are many antique furniture and a mine. The guide answered every question I had and was very welcoming.

Really enjoyed it very interesting good guide

(Translated by Google) This church is located at the top of the hill, just before the entrance to the historic center. It has a very pleasant lookout point with a beautiful view of the city. One detail that stood out is that, in the cemetery next to it, a crime occurred in 2001 that shook the city: the murder of tourist Aline. She was found dead on the cemetery grounds, which attracted the attention of curious onlookers seeking supernatural contact there at night. I should emphasize here that this is a church that is difficult to visit, as its opening hours vary. I didn't have the opportunity to find it open. (Original) Essa igreja se encontra na parte superior - pouco antes da entrada do centro histórico. Ela possui um mirante super agradável com uma bela vista para a cidade. Um detalhe que ficou marcado é que, no cemitério que fica na sua lateral, ocorreu em 2001 um crime que mexeu com a cidade; o homicídio da turista Aline, ela foi encontrada sem vida nas dependências do cemitério, o que despertou atenção de curiosos que buscavam algum contato sobrenatural por ali à noite. Ressalto aqui que trata-se de uma igreja de difícil visitação, pois tem seu horário alternado. Não tive a oportunidade em encontrá-la aberta.

We didn't enter but it's perfect for sunsets seeing.

(Translated by Google) Everything in this city is history! I love churches, little churches, everything related to ancient temples, especially when they are inserted in a historical context. When I read about the city, I saw several pictures of this church and when I visited the city it was the first stop I made. (Original) Tudo nessa cidade é história! Eu amo igrejas, igrejinhas, tudo relacionado a templos antigos ainda mais quando estão inseridos num contexto histórico. Quando eu lia sobre a cidade, via várias fotinhos dessa igreja e quando visitei a cidade foi a primeira parada que eu fiz.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church and the view is breathtaking. A place to take excellent photos. (Original) Igreja linda e o visual dela é de tirar o fôlego. Local de fazer excelentes fotos.

(Translated by Google) An imposing building in the upper part of the city. It was closed when we arrived. From the outside, you can enjoy the sunset and a beautiful view of the city. (Original) Imponente construção na parte alta da cidade. Estava fechada quando chegamos. Da parte externa é possível contemplar o pôr do Sol e uma bela visão da cidade.

(Translated by Google) Nossa Senhora das Mercês Church is not open to visitors, only the surrounding area is easily accessible, but it is very rewarding. (Original) Igreja Nossa Senhora das Mercês não está aberta a visitas somente ao entorno fica de fácil acesso, mas é muito gratificante.

(Translated by Google) Good walk... Great view, shame the church was closed. (Original) Caminhada boa... Ótima vista pena que a igreja estava fechada.

Beautiful historical place in the Center of this World Heritage city of Ouro Preto.

It is a statue

Amazing place and tons of history in one Place.

Legal

(Translated by Google) The Tiradentes Statue is the focal point of Tiradentes Square and one of the most iconic symbols of Brazilian history. Built in honor of the martyr of the Inconfidência Mineira, it represents the country's fight for freedom and independence. Surrounded by beautiful colonial mansions, museums, and historic churches, the statue is located in one of the most iconic settings in Ouro Preto. It is a must-see for photos, contemplation, and reflection on the past. Being there is a way to feel the power of history living before your eyes. (Original) A Estátua de Tiradentes é o ponto central da Praça Tiradentes e um dos símbolos mais emblemáticos da história do Brasil. Erguida em homenagem ao mártir da Inconfidência Mineira, ela representa a luta pela liberdade e pela independência do país. Cercada por belos casarões coloniais, museus e igrejas históricas, a estátua está em um dos cenários mais icônicos de Ouro Preto. É parada obrigatória para fotos, contemplação e reflexão sobre o passado. Estar ali é sentir a força da história viva diante dos olhos.

(Translated by Google) Tiradentes Square – Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais Tiradentes Square, the heart of Ouro Preto, is one of those places that blends architectural beauty with undeniable historical significance. Surrounded by colonial mansions, museums, and charming restaurants, it's the ideal starting point for exploring the city. But be careful: behind the hustle and bustle of tourists and selfies with the statue of Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, there's a story that deserves to be told more accurately than textbooks usually portray. History Beyond the Statue Many people believe that Tiradentes was executed there, in the square itself, but this is not true. In reality, he was hanged in Rio de Janeiro in 1792. What happened in Ouro Preto (then Vila Rica) was the public display of parts of his body as a form of intimidation against those who sympathized with the Minas Gerais Conspiracy. One of the places chosen for this "demonstration" was precisely this square, where his imposing statue, erected in the early 20th century, now stands. Another curious and little-known detail: the popular image of Tiradentes, with his long hair and thick beard, is more of a constructed symbol than an accurate portrait. At the time, political prisoners had their heads shaved as a form of humiliation and punishment. In other words, the current image was inspired more by the figure of Christ, to reinforce the "martyr" character of the inconfidente, than by any real record. Practical tips for your visit The square is surrounded by important tourist attractions, such as the Inconfidência Museum, the Science and Technology Museum of the School of Mines, and several shops selling crafts and local products. In terms of dining, there's no shortage of good options: restaurants, cafes, and bars in the surrounding area cater to everyone from those seeking a typical Minas Gerais lunch to those simply looking for a good coffee or craft beer. If you're arriving by car, be patient. Parking there is a near-epic task, especially on weekends and holidays. The best tip is to arrive early—very early. After 10 a.m., the spaces on the nearby streets are usually already occupied. Another option is to use the paid parking lots nearby or even park your car a little further away and walk. Conclusion Tiradentes Square isn't just a postcard—it's a place for reflection on Brazilian history, full of layers and contradictions. It blends the baroque charm of Ouro Preto with a turbulent past that still echoes in the cobblestones. It's worth sitting on a bench, watching the world go by, and letting history (and the smell of cheese bread wafting from the nearby eateries) do its work. Just don't forget comfortable shoes: the hills come right after. (Original) Praça Tiradentes – Ouro Preto/MG A Praça Tiradentes, coração de Ouro Preto, é daqueles lugares que misturam beleza arquitetônica com um peso histórico inegável. Cercada por casarões coloniais, museus e restaurantes charmosos, ela é o ponto de partida ideal para explorar a cidade. Mas atenção: por trás do vai e vem de turistas e das selfies com a estátua de Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, há uma história que merece ser contada com mais precisão do que os livros didáticos geralmente mostram. História além da estátua Muita gente acredita que Tiradentes foi executado ali, na própria praça, mas isso não é verdade. Na realidade, ele foi enforcado no Rio de Janeiro em 1792. O que aconteceu em Ouro Preto (então Vila Rica) foi a exposição pública de partes do seu corpo, como forma de intimidação aos que simpatizassem com a Inconfidência Mineira. Um dos lugares escolhidos para essa “demonstração” foi exatamente essa praça, onde hoje se ergue sua imponente estátua, erguida no início do século XX. Outro detalhe curioso e pouco divulgado: a imagem popular de Tiradentes, com longos cabelos e barba espessa, é mais um símbolo construído do que um retrato fiel. Na época, prisioneiros políticos tinham seus cabelos raspados como forma de humilhação e punição. Ou seja, a imagem atual foi inspirada mais na figura de Cristo, para reforçar o caráter “mártir” do inconfidente, do que em qualquer registro real. Dicas práticas para a visita A praça é rodeada por pontos turísticos importantes, como o Museu da Inconfidência, o Museu de Ciência e Técnica da Escola de Minas e várias lojinhas de artesanato e produtos locais. Em termos de gastronomia, não faltam boas opções: restaurantes, cafés e bares no entorno atendem desde quem quer um almoço típico mineiro até quem só busca um bom café ou uma cerveja artesanal. Se estiver vindo de carro, vá com paciência. Estacionar por ali é uma missão quase épica, especialmente em fins de semana e feriados. A dica de ouro é chegar cedo — bem cedo. Depois das 10h da manhã, as vagas nas ruas próximas já estão, geralmente, todas ocupadas. Outra opção é usar os estacionamentos pagos nas redondezas ou mesmo deixar o carro um pouco mais longe e caminhar. Conclusão A Praça Tiradentes não é só um cartão-postal — é um ponto de reflexão sobre a história do Brasil, cheio de camadas e contradições. Mistura o charme barroco de Ouro Preto com um passado turbulento que ainda ecoa nas pedras do calçamento. Vale sentar num banco, observar o movimento e deixar a história (e o cheiro de pão de queijo saindo das lanchonetes próximas) fazerem seu trabalho. Só não esqueça de calçar um sapato confortável: a ladeira vem logo depois.

(Translated by Google) A place full of history, I recommend hiring a local guide, and it's inexpensive. It's worth it to learn a little about the past. (Original) Lugar cheio de histórias, recomendo contratar um guia local, e barato. Vale a pena para saber um pouco do passado.

Nice

(Translated by Google) The place is on a hill. From there you have a wonderful view of the city. The place is simple. It has some period items. The house has been renovated and is great for taking photos. There is no entrance fee. The best part of the visit was the guide, who explained everything about the place in detail and even gave us tips for tours. It was a quick visit of about 30 minutes. It was worth it. (Original) O local fica num morro. De lá você tem uma visão maravilhosa da cidade. O local é simples. Possuo alguns itens de época. A casa foi reformada e é ótima pra tirar fotos.

We walked, about half an hour from downtown. (Original) Fico feliz que o iphan salvou esta casa ruína, feliz mesmo. Porém acredito que faltam mais explicações, indicações para envolver os visitantes. Fomos a pé, coisa de meia hora do centro

(Translated by Google) Casa dos Inconfidentes Museum Located on Cruzeiro hill, it was probably a meeting place for the inconfidentes. A museum with an interesting collection of 18th century furniture that tells a bit of history and offers a beautiful view of Ouro Preto. Although its collection does not contain anything from the inconfidentes, it is still quite rich. It shows what a house was like at that time, the furniture, the rooms, etc. (Original) Museu Casa dos Inconfidentes Localizada no morro do Cruzeiro, foi provavelmente local de reuniões dos inconfidentes. Um Museu com acervo interessante com mobílias da época do século XVIII e conta um pouco da história além de uma bela vista de Ouro Preto. Embora seu acervo não possua nada dos inconfidentes, ainda assim é bastante rico. Mostra como era uma casa naquela época, os móveis, os cômodos, etc.

(Translated by Google) An opportunity to learn a little about the Minas Gerais conspiracy. The guide will immerse you in this historical period.

O guia faz com que você tenha uma imersão nesse período histórico. Em todos os ambientes da casa é feita a remontagem desse contexto histórico com peças, textos e imagens. A entrada é gratuita.

(Translated by Google) This is my top favorite of the tours I've been on. The historian is wonderful; he has a world in his mind. I loved the visit and meeting him too—his name is Luiz Eduardo. It's definitely worth going and exploring the place. The history is fantastic. (Original) Este está em primeiro lugar que gostei dos passeios que fui. O historiador é maravilhoso, ele tem um mundo em sua mente. Adorei a visita e ter conhecido ele também, ele se chama Luiz Eduardo. Vale muito a pena ir e conhecer o local. A história é fantástica.

Food was too expensive for what you were getting. 30 Reais for a caldo

Very pleasant environment with live music until late evening. My husband and I went there while visiting Ouro Preto and we had some delicious caldo(soup) and very nice cold beer while listening to good music. Would really recommend this music bar!

Slowest service. They don't have enough staff to serve customers. Had to wait very long for the bill to arrive and the pizza wasn't even that good. There is also a charge for the music in the bar that customers should be aware of

Show!!!

Show

Awesome spot so glad you found this place great life, music, good cocktails, and food

(Translated by Google) Right on Tiradentes Square is Taberna Music Bar, a rustic spot accessed by a staircase. From the outside, you can't imagine the size of the place. The beer is ice cold and the food is delicious. However, there's one detail: before ordering, I asked if the dish was enough for two people and was told it wasn't. We ordered it, and yes, it was enough. Some of the food went to waste because I couldn't eat any more. Regarding the opening hours, I see many reports that establishments close early. This is a fact, and the waiter confirmed it, but that's a natural part of Ouro Preto. Overall, it's a very good place! (Original) Bem na praça Tiradentes fica o Taberna Music Bar, um local rústico com acesso por uma escada, não dá para imaginar o tamanho do espaço olhando de fora. A cerveja bem gelada a comida saborosa, mas tem um detalhe, antes de ser feito o pedido, perguntei se o prato servia a 2 pessoas e foi informado que não servia, pois pedimos e sim, servia a 2 pessoas. Parte da comida foi desperdiçada, pois não conseguia mais comer. Sobre o horário que vejo muitos relatos que os estabelecimentos fecham cedo, isso é um fato e o garçom confirmou, mas isso é natural de Ouro Preto. No geral é um local muito bom!

Great place with amazing starters! The croquetes, the bolinhos and, THE AMAZING TORRESMO! If you go there, you should try it, there is no way you’re not trying it! Unfortunately I won’t put 5 stars because the main course arrived a bit cold and a bit late. Still, we enjoy the diner and I highly recommend going there if after a long day visiting the place you want to have a nice and tasty piece of meat! Prices are quite good on top of that and staff was friendly!

(Translated by Google) A wonderful restaurant in Ouro Preto. This restaurant specializes in very well-prepared meat dishes. Here's a tip to follow the happy hour promotions, that day it was 2 drinks for the price of one. So, as a group of people, we tried several drinks from the restaurant, highlighting the experience of receiving the drink and the intense and different flavors. Eating several portions is a plus, just one detail, but the restaurant made a mistake when making a portion of dumplings and not putting a sauce on the bottom, which caused them to make a mistake when bringing the dish to the table, delaying the order a little due to the substitution. Good volume of food per dish and price according to the quality offered. (Original) Um restaurante maravilhoso em Ouro Preto. Casa especializada em pratos com carne muito bem preparados. Fica a dica para acompanhar as promoções de happy hour, nesse dia era 2 drinks pelo preço de um. Então em um grupo de pessoas degustamos vários drinks do restaurante com destaque para a experiência ao receber o drink e os sabores intensos e diferentes. Para comer várias porções são um diferencial, apenas um detalhe mas o restaurante cometeu um deslize ao fazer uma porção com bolinhos e não colocar um molho na parte de baixo o que ocasionou um deslize deles ao trazer o prato para a mesa atrasando o pedido um pouco por conta da substituição. Volume bom de comida por prato e preço de acordo com a qualidade oferecida.

(Translated by Google) While I was in Ouro Preto, I saw this restaurant and thought about having a barbecue lunch. Initially, I wanted to sit at a table with cushioned seats, but the waiter recommended a simple table. We ordered an executive barbecue dish and the order arrived on time. The food was very good and the meat was very tender. There was also live music. What bothered me at the end was having to register the restaurant's WhatsApp to send the PIX receipt. Overall, it was a good experience. (Original) Durante o passei em Ouro Preto, vi esse restaurante e pensei em almoçar um churrasco. Inicialmente queria sentar numa mesa com assentos acolchoados mas o garçom indicou uma mesa simples. Pedimos um prato executivo com churrasco e o pedido chegou no tempo esperado. A comida estava muito boa e a carne estava bem macia. Teve também música ao vivo. O que me incomodou ao final foi ter que cadastrar o WhatsApp do restaurante para enviar o comprovante do PIX. No geral foi uma boa experiência.

(Translated by Google) I only have praise!!! Beautiful, cozy, comfortable environment, with a great menu of meals. The price is a bit high, but it's worth it for all the good things mentioned above. Tip: the meals are very well served, and serve two people. The environment is great for various types of events and occasions. I definitely recommend it and will be back soon. (Original) Só tenho elogios !!! Ambiente lindo, aconchegante, confortável, com ótimo cardápio de refeições . O preço e um pouco agregado, mas vale a pena por todas as coisas boas citadas logo à cima. Sugestao: as refeições são muito bem servidas , e servem para duas pessoas. O ambiente é ótimo para vários tipos de eventos e ocasiões. Com toda certeza indico e voltarei em breve

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant place, in the American steakhouse style, with several options on the menu. The main menu is the option where you choose the meat and three sides, which serves two people very well, and can even serve a couple with a child. The restaurant is a little outside the square, on the street to the right after CAEM, near where there is a street with guesthouses. (Original) Local muito agradável, no estilo steakhouse americano mesmo, com várias opções no cardapio. O principal da casa é a opção onde se escolhe a carne e três acompanhamentos, que servem muito bem duas pessoas, servindo até mesmo um casal com uma criança. A casa está um pouco fora da Praça, na rua a direita depois do CAEM, perto de onde há uma rua com pousadas.

(Translated by Google) Very good restaurant, extremely well prepared and tasty meats. Service is top notch. Chef John has adapted vegan dishes, which are very tasty by the way (hearts of palm with sauce, grilled vegetables, etc.). The restaurant is an excellent steakhouse, but the adapted vegan dishes are extremely tasty. I highly recommend it to everyone. (Original) Restaurante muito bom, carnes extremamente bem preparadas, saborosas. Atendimento nota 1000. O chef John adaptou pratos veganos, por sinal muito saborosos ( palmito com molho, legumes na parrilha etc). Restaurante é uma excelente casa de carnes, mas os pratos veganos adaptados são extremamente saborosos. Recomendo muiito a todos.

(Original) O atendimento é excelente, com pessoal muito simpático! Recomendo o período de "double drink" das 19h até 22h porque as bebidas são excelentes!
