3. Rua XV de Novembro (Pedestrian Street)

Going here allows one to soak up Curitiba’s urban vibe, with a great variety that this place will truly open your eyes and senses to. Rua XV de Novembro can be known far and wide by visitors and residents by its nickname “Rua das Flores” and so it is where, arguably, one of the most recognized pedestrian streets on the map can be found. And a wide variety of street performers, local shops, and busy cafes definitely help make it that location that so very much pulses with the energetic vibe in a central way in this town. As you take a walk in this location, which is of some importance, and taking time to observe your new neighborhood, make it a plan to shop in boutiques or go to different cafes to drink different beverages or taste new local drinks or plates from the location.

During the weekends, that area comes even a bit more alive with crafts displays along with shows that are, seemingly, outdoor, offering more local charm.

4. Ukrainian Memorial

To reflect on that town’s diverse cultural influences, this so Ukrainian Memorial gives everyone a chance to remember all these contributions to Curitiba that people from Ukraine made back in the time the town became one of high diversity and multiple influences from abroad. That, so, architectural design truly symbolizes a very Ukrainian church constructed in memory that does remember immigration into the town, and to honor that population.

Visitors, for the visitor’s sake, will not want to only appreciate that aesthetic that shows in a very clear manner their unique background, but what you may or may not notice, arguably the peaceful park setting, helps one for some quiet thought or moments with some clear importance or for the specific value or aim to admire nature for your photography or other goals with some clear importance to people, which, frankly, tourists can experience at their own pace.

5. Santa Felicidade

You, just for fun, want to experience Curitiba’s Italian heritage, there might be something you didn’t know; tourists may want to go somewhere which displays such a phenomenon. With, for instance, so many wineries and a bit of very tasty trattorias which showcase this community influence to Curitiba’s very, very, landscape from an outside lens. One or more families originating from Europe migrated here over years in that past history. In some respects, tourists from around could get a chance here and feel that heritage within a clear connection, unlike places with a very small historical marker. Get a meal, maybe, from multiple of these trattorias after you may be up to, literally, purchasing some local craftwork or taking a nice walk in a family location. Or feel that, really, culture through experiencing their day and get into connection or appreciation with its cultural relevance.
