Things to Do in Curitiba

Drop your bags off at your Curitiba accommodation and lace up your walking shoes, because there’s lots to see in this city. Head for Largo da Ordem, the historic district. While you meander down the pedestrian-only cobblestone street, make sure you stop in the swanky art galleries. Pick out some souvenirs for your pals back home, then swig back a fresh cup of coffee at one of the stylish cafes.

Coffee not really your thing? Make your way to Japan Square and grab yourself a cup of tea at the Tea House while you are surrounded by cherry blossom trees. Once you’ve had your fill of tea or coffee, get your culture on at the Ópera de Arame (Wire Opera House). This building is a doozy—its roof and walls are transparent, so you can take in the peaceful, forest-like setting outside while listening to those high notes.

After working up an appetite, it’s time to get your hands on a vina. What are vina, you ask? You might know them as Vienna sausages, and vina is the nickname used by Curitibanos. Let us tell you, they are delicious! All that eating is bound to make you tired, though, so rest up in one of our hotels in Curitiba for your next day of adventure.
