"Republicas." Top 5 Page for this destination Ouro Prêto Favorite Tip by cachaseiro

Favorite thing: You will often see a sign saying "republica" on houses in Ouro Preto.
These places are student houses where students live together and often party hard.
These places are often quite anarchistic and many wild ideas and wild plans for Brazils future has started in these places.
They are there cause Ouro Preto is a big student town and therefor also a very young town and i think the republicas is one of the coolest things about Ouro Preto.
