Where to stay in Santa Efigênia
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Four addresses sit inside. A bed in Santa Efigênia keeps the Igreja de Santa Efigênia dos Militares, the Our Lady of Sorrows church and the Archdiocesan Museum of Sacred Art of Belo Horizonte on the same side of the city as the room. The Brazilian Expeditionary Force Museum adds a fourth stop for anyone who books here rather than in the wider grid of Belo Horizonte.

About Santa Efigênia
What are the main landmarks in Santa Efigênia?
The Igreja de Santa Efigênia dos Militares and the Our Lady of Sorrows church are the two churches the record fixes to Santa Efigênia, and the Archdiocesan Museum of Sacred Art of Belo Horizonte keeps the religious thread running indoors. One entry breaks that pattern. The Brazilian Expeditionary Force Museum sets a military collection beside the sacred art, which gives a short list more range than four entries usually carry.
