How to Get to Inhotim

There are a few ways to get to Inhotim. The most direct way popular way would be to fly into Tancredo Neves/Confins International Airport. With direct flights from popular US airlines like American Airlines, flying into this airport is a breeze. After arriving at Belo Horizonte Airport, you are approximately 2 hours away from the Inhotim Museum. The road to Inhotim once you leave Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais, becomes very bumpy.

That being said, don’t miss the amazing views out the window as your cruise through jungle forests, villages, and along cobblestone streets. I personally highly recommend a private transfer from the airport in Belo Horizonte to Inhotim because makes this will allow you to get to Inhotim right when it opens. We also highly recommend that you visit Inhotim on a private tour. SouthAmerica.travel offers Inhotim tours that can easily be combined with popular destinations like Belo Horizonte, Iguazu Falls, Rio de Janeiro, the Amazon Rainforest, and more.

Inhotim Hours & Admission

Inhotim is open to following hours:

Tuesday – Friday: 9:30 am to 4:30 pm

Saturday, Sunday, Holidays: 9:30 am to 5:30 pm Inhotim is CLOSED on Mondays

Inhotim costs 44 Brazilian Reais to get into. This roughly translates to $14 USD per person.

However, the museum is FREE every Wednesdays. It is a great idea if you are traveling with a guide to plan your visit on Wednesday to save some extra money.

What hotels to stay in near the Inhotim Museum

I always recommend to all of our travelers at SouthAmerica.travel to stay in Belo Horizonte or Ouro Preto rather than spending the night at a hotel near Inhotim. The museum recently announced they are building a group of luxury resorts and hotels surrounding the small community around Inhotim. However, these are years out and it is best to rest in Ouro Preto or Belo Horizonte and make a day trip to Inhotim instead. This will allow you to have many more food options and ensure that you have a safe and comfortable night stay.

In Ouro Preto, we highly recommend the Hotel Solar do Rosário. This absolutely gorgeous hotel is located right in the heart of picturesque Ouro Preto. From here, you can easily arrange a private transfer in the morning that allows you to experience a full day at Inhotim. This hotel is perfect for rest and relaxation or for flipping your Inhotim Museum photos from your day of exploring.

In Belo Horizonte, we highly recommend the Othon Palace Hotel. This beautiful high-rise hotel is conveniently located right near the Centro Market of Belo Horizonte. Featuring a rooftop pool and a gorgeous view of the city, it doesn’t get better than this in Belo Horizonte. The perfect spot to stay on your visit to Inhotim.
