Savassi

Savassi is an upscale neighborhood located in the South-Central Zone of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It is known for its large number of bars and thriving commercial sector, being one of the most prestigious areas of the Minas Gerais capital. In early 2006, before the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) meeting, the city government divided the Funcionários neighborhood, creating the Savassi and Boa Viagem neighborhoods. The area to the northeast continued to be called Funcionários.

Some famous landmarks in Savassi are:
Diogo de Vasconcelos Square;
Cristóvão Colombo and Getúlio Vargas Avenues;
Liberty Square;
The School of Architecture at UFMG (Federal University of Minas Gerais);
Santo Antônio School.
