Belo Horizonte is a capital, maybe the third or fourth biggest in Brasil. So it’s a big city, it’s not like you can walk the streets carefree in the middle of the night. There are parts of the city that are worse, like the centre, but most likely a tourist visiting wouldn’t go there. If you stick to more touristic parts and have your bag close and pay attention, you’ll be ok. It’s safer than São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
Posted: June 21, 2025It's a quiet city but I don't go out much. I'm constantly afraid because you can't really trust people... It's great to walk around Belo Horizonte, there aren't many crimes, but of course, be careful and keep your guard up. The nights are dangerous.

Belo Horizonte is a relatively safe city by Brazilian standards. During the day, it is safe to take public transportation and walk around the city. However, the city becomes a bit more dangerous at night and in some specific areas, so if you go out at night, be accompanied or stay in well-populated places. Always keep an eye on personal belongings, especially wallets and cell phones.

Belo Horizonte has safe and dangerous places, but you have to be careful with your bag and cell phone; walking at night in the city center is dangerous, there are many addicts, but there are safe regions in the city where, if you are well accompanied, you will not have problems.
