Curitiba Virtual Tour

Curitiba, situated on a mountain plateau amid lush tropical vegetation in the Brazilian state of Paraná, has a rich history. It was first settled by the Guarani Indians, and Portuguese colonists officially granted it city status in 1693. Since 1853, Curitiba has served as the capital of the state. The city experienced rapid economic development, which attracted a diverse range of European immigrants, including Italians, Germans, Ukrainians, Poles, and Japanese. Even today, while walking the streets of Curitiba, you can hear Italian spoken, savor European cuisine, and observe non-Brazilian traditional elements in house decorations. Curitiba's economic prosperity led to significant investment in urban planning, beautification, and infrastructure development. The city appeals to tourists with its architectural landmarks, charming alleys, beautiful parks, as well as cozy cafes, pubs, stylish houses, and condominiums. Notably, Curitiba boasts modern kindergartens and schools. Today, Curitiba is a multicultural city with a wealth of architectural attractions that pay homage to its diverse heritage. Visitors can immerse themselves in the atmosphere of Grimm Brothers' fairy tales while strolling through the German Forest, explore the garden adorned with cherry trees in the Japanese Square, pay respects at the Ukrainian Memorial, or experience the Italian Quarter's charm.

Tips for tourists

Be sure to visit 24 Horas Street, which is one of the most famous streets in Brazil. It is non-stop and truly vibrant.

Be prepared for language barriers. As always, the active use of gesticulation will come in handy. Not everyone in Curitiba speaks English.

We recommend trying tapioca, a very tasty sweet dessert, as well as pamonha, a sweet corn porridge wrapped in corn leaves.

Curitiba: tips for tourists

We recommend planning a lot of city walks, as there is a lot to see and a lot of fun to be had. You can use the map to draw up some walking routes beforehand.
