Curitiba


Curitiba is the capital of Paraná. It has a harmonic architectural and urban's development. Curitiba is the biggest city in the south region and the seventh most populous city in the country. It's famous for it's monuments and parks. Some of the most famous landmarks are the "Jardim Botânico", "Parque Tanguá" and the "Torre da Telepar". Also the city is recognized by its "Ópera de Arame" which is made of metallic structures that look like the wire's fragility. Besides that, the city is known for its technological investments which make it one of the most important technology centers in the country.
Curitiba has already been one of the best cities in Brazil to realize events and things related to tourism. "Festival de Teatro" is a theater festival that presents international and national plays every year. It's is interesting because theater is and has always been a cultural thing. In addition, Christmas is a big event there too. A lot of people go there to see the decoration and the teen's coral singing Christmas' songs in the center of the city.
Curitiba is almost the perfect city because it also has its problems resulted from the population's growth. The violence and the crimes have increased in the last years. There's insufficient water. There's pollution of the rivers and lots of people live in the streets.
Even so, people who love museums, monuments and cold and technological places will love Curitiba. During the day, they can do a tour in the city. At night, they can go to theaters, to shopping mall and restaurants. It's impossible to be there and do nothing.
