Getting around Belo Horizonte is easy as it is served by a good public transport system. The bus network here consists of colour coded buses - the blue buses ply from one region to another via downtown whereas Orange buses run between different regions without going through downtown. Yellow buses have circular routes around the Contorno and green buses connect to the BH bus station. BH also has a metro system, but at present, it only covers a limited portion of the city in north. New lines connecting important neighbourhoods such as Savassi and Pampulha are under construction. Taxi service here is reliable and inexpensive as compared to other cities in Latin America. You can get more information about taxi fares at www.tarifadetaxi.com/belo-horizonte. Travelling on foot is also an option, provided you have a pair of comfortable walking shoes and a map so that you don't get lost in orderly grids and diagonals of BH.
