Curitiba is a big city located on the south of Brazil, at Parana state. Curitiba has a relaxing atmosphere where you have a balmy weather When you get there you are able to see hills that somethimes is cloud capped, and it's one of the most breath taking sights. The city is not a bustling city and the streets are also not hustle and bustle. There, we can find organized public transportation and you feast your eyes on the wide.
The best way to get there is by plane, you can also go by bus or car, but it is not a good idea, because the road has a lot of dangerous curves. When you arrive there, you can go to the hotels that there are on the city.
The best place to stay is on the XV de novembro street, because trere are a lot of hotels and you can choose the best one according your conditions, and because this you will can be stunning with the rooms or not. And because there, you are near from a turistics points like Guamra Theathe, 24 hrs Street, Paranaense Museum, etc...
In the general, the food is not so exquisite, but there are a typical food called Carneiro no Buraco. That made with banana tree leaves involving different kinds of meat, prepared inside a land's hole. But you can find all kinds of food, that there in the country, because the people are very mixed.
As we have already said, Curitiba is a unrivalled city, and if you go there, you' ll have a lot of glowing places to visit.
