    We were in Curitiba in Nov 2012 and visited the Botanical park and went up the tower overlooking the city. It’s a beautiful city. My wife and I went for a walk in the evening and came upon a small neighbourhood bar. Stopped for a drink. The staff and patrons were so friendly and wanted to know as much about Canada as we wanted to know about their city and country. Thanks Alina for reminding us of the great time we had! 🇨🇦

    I live in southern Brazil, in Joinville, which is about 2 hrs away from Curitiba. I find so respectful the way you're genuinely interested in getting to know Curitiba. Foreigners mostly focus on visiting Rio and São Paulo, which is cool as well, but Brazil is much more than that... It melts my heart seeing you visit this amazing region that's often forgotten by media and other visitors. Hope you had an amazing time and you're always welcome to come back and explore more of this beautiful region :)

    Hi Alina, what a beautiful video highlighting Curitiba, Paraná. I am an American from Charleston, S.C. and have been living in Curitiba +15 years. I also share cultural American exchanges with my Brazilian brothers and sisters with owning an American Western Style Cowboy 🤠 Saloon called: Watkins's American Saloon for nearly 7 years. Absolutely, Curitiba is differently one of Brazil's hidden Gems from the English Speaking Countries of the World 🌎 👏! Highly recommend more English Speaking Tourists visit and because of this video, I truly do believe it will do so! Thanks again Alina for "Showcasing" CURITIBA! Beijão (I love Curitiba) ...

    I made a couple of visits to Curitiba for work (UFPR), spending a couple of months there total. I loved the city. Nice small and modest sized restaurants along most streets and street corners. Many beautiful parks, big and small, were a pleasure to spend time at. Nice shopping malls. The people are very friendly and welcoming. When not with business colleagues, I struggled a bit due to my lack of Portuguese, but I was able to overcome the language barrier. Whenever I found a place to relax and enjoy a futbol match, I was always befriended by the local fans who recognized or asked if I was American. Sports often transcends language barriers. The Familia Madaoloso restaurant was a very nice experience. With a nice atmosphere and a wide variety of good foods and a nice souvenir shop across the street from the entrance. Another favorite was Confeitaria Holandesa, which has delicious breakfast pastries and coffee. I've spent a lot of time in Rio and Floripa as well, both of which I also love. Curitiba definitely ranks up there with these two cities. Each with distinct differences, but overall all wonderful places to visit. And oh by the way, I always felt safe walking around the many parts of the Centro Curitiba, always mindful of staying clear of places that may not be safe in big cities. I definitely want to visit Curitiba again someday soon.

      The transport system in Curitba is a farse, only buses no trains, the oposite of almost all big cities of the world. If 99 of inhabitants of Curitiba think that this city is incredible, is because they are very pronvincian people and very xenophobic also, they don't like other place that are not Curitiba in Brazil. Curitibanos are called "bairristas" in brazilian portuguese.

      *I think* that they grew because they had contract to supply food to some orgs (like Army, etc...) , also because in the region there are lots of business and also the "big corps" rent the restaurant for "end of year dinner" (some almost "close" the restaurant) and also people rent rooms for marriage party, graduation party. Don't know if they rent for anniversary (never saw one). From mid 80's until 2000 at least once per year I had dinner there (my father's employer's "end of year party" and also marriages, etc...).

A vida noturna também é muito interessante, com excelentes opções, especialmente bares com música ao vivo, restaurantes e boates. As pessoas em Curitiba podem não ser tão acolhedoras quanto no Rio, Salvador ou Porto Alegre, mas compensam com muita simpatia e educação. E, na minha época, brincávamos dizendo que depois de comer no Madalosso a pessoa tinha que ir correr no Parque Barigui, para tentar perder um pouco do peso que ganhou. Bons tempos. / Hi Alina, I was sure you would love Curitiba very much. It's a lovely city, everything seems to work very well, it's clean, organized and beautiful.

    Heeey, local over here! I am so glad to see someone actually visiting and talking about Brazilian cities that are not just Rio and São Paulo. I was born in Curitiba and I have been living here all my life and it really is a city full of potential, good infrastructure, and diversity. From your video I don't know if you have been to some other incredible places here, but here goes some suggestions: Guaíra Theater, there is always something going on there, ballet, music concerts, theater plays; we have the old city hall that is Paço da Liberdade, it is a museum now and a place to host lectures, a library and also the historic architecture facade is used as a stage for many holliday events, such as christmas recitals, etc; Tanguá Park, where there is a huge and beautiful waterfall and cave; we have an Egyptian museum, which is a bit small but with an actuall mummy in display; a Holocaust Museum; the Japan Square, which is amazing! I spent a lot of time there while growing up; we have a lot of theaters and every year we have the Curitiba Theater Festival, that is the biggest theater festival in the country, with street plays, concerts, workshops, a lot of events. I hope you are able to come here more often, there is a whole lot of things to enjoy in a regular basis. Just remember to be careful, it is not Rio but still the levels of violence have been increasing throughout Brazil itself! Thanks for sharing those experiences! It is amazing to learn about Rio's Carnival but we have an incredible diversity of cultures in our country, it is always nice to have foreigners being interested in seeing (and showing!) that too!

It starts in Curitiba and ends up on the historical city of Morretes, where you can eat the tradicional dish, barreado (which is meat VERY soft meat cooked on a clay pot for over 12 hours). To add it up, the city of Morretes is close enough to "Ilha do Mel", a beautiful island with a lot of nature.

People from Curitiba are very proud of our culture, behaviour and urban organisation. The city is known in Brazil as the "most critical and demanding people for good services" and also "the most reserved people in Brazil" and is the coldest capital in Brazil in winter! We have asians, arabians and specially the majority part of european descedants; and that's why our appearance is different from each other here. COME BACK ANYTIME YOU WANT !

    The best tour in can do, besides the one you already did, if not not by the tourism bus line, is to known the area by getting the tourism train to visit Morretes which is a small town just 70km from Curitiba. Ideally try to get that on a clear day so you can see all the beautiful enginnering of a XIX century railroad in one of the best preserved areas of the Atlantic Forest which was the 2nd biggest in Brazil after Amazon. It very dense similiar to Foz do Iguaçu Park but in a very different cliff landscape with amazing views as you cross it.

    Na verdade Curitiba não tem nada de subestimada. Dentro do Brasil é uma das principais cidades, reconhecida por sua beleza e riqueza e um grande destino turístico. A questão é que fora do Brasil, o Brasil é conhecido pelas praias, calor, futebol, carnaval, e principalmente pelo Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, mais o Rio de que São Paulo. Então Curitiba não reúne muito do que os turistas estrangeiros procuram no Brasil, até o clima é diferente, afinal, o turista estrangeiro quer vir no Brasile ir a praia, quer encontrar o clima quente e de preferência com algum evento festivo acontecendo. Então faz todo sentido que fora do Brasil, Curitiba não seja tão conhecida.

Ninguém quer conhecer uma cidade para visitar as praças e andar de ônibus ligeirinho. Não tem nenhuma construção histórica digna de nota. A arquitetura é banal como em toda cidade media brasileira. A vida cultural se resume a cinema de shopping. Curitiba só deslumbra a caipirada brasileira, não tem nenhum atrativo para atrair visitantes estrangeiros.
