Even the most urban corners of Curitiba hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Botanical Garden greenhouse and Rua XV de Novembro pedestrian street offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Bosque Alemao (German Forest) for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Curitiba is Brazil's most innovative city in urban planning, with pedestrian streets, extensive parkland, and a cultural spirit that has made it a model for sustainable cities worldwide.

Curitiba is known for urban planning and parks, but between the busy streets, spaces like Botanical Garden greenhouse and Rua XV de Novembro pedestrian street provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Bosque Alemao (German Forest) provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
Curitiba is one of Brazil's most walkable cities, with excellent pedestrian infrastructure. The climate is cooler than most Brazilian cities — bring a jacket, especially from April through September.
September through November offers spring weather with blooming gardens, while March through May provides comfortable autumn temperatures and fewer crowds.
