If you want to add a little more culture to your escape, put Giramundo Museum on your travel itinerary. See if guided tours are available or simply roam around in your own time.
This museum is often on the itineraries of visitors to Colégio Batista. But Giramundo Museum isn't the only highlight in the area. Mineirão Stadium, Liberty Square, and Church of Saint Francis of Assisi are some other interesting attractions close by.
