Visiting Curitiba is a cosmopolitan city that receives people from all over the country. It has a small but vibrant technology scene and a strong culture of innovation. The city has a number of tourist attractions, both inside the city limits and around it. There is also a strong cultural scene with attractions for all tastes including theater, movies, music, and comedy. Southern Brazil has a strong history of immigration during the last couple of centuries, and Curitiba has significant immigrant communities, including German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Ukrainian, Syrian and Lebanese. This plurality is reflected in a broad range of typical food available, as well as corresponding cultural landmarks of these populations which are an integral part of the city culture. Geographic location Curitiba is the capital of Paraná State . It is located 100km inland, between São Paulo and Porto Alegre, where DebConf 4 took place. Getting to Curitiba See: the conference venue page for details. Weather July is winter in Brazil. As the weather is drier than summer, it is unlikely to rain, and even less likely to snow. Curitiba is known to be the “coldest capital” in Brazil, so the weather during DebConf will definitely not be hot. According to the Clima Tempo , the average July temperature over the last 30 years is: Avg. Minimum 8 °C 46.4 °F Avg. Maximum 20 °C 68 °F Avg. Rainfall 99 mm 4 inches Transport Public transport Curitiba has a world-renowned public transportation system, using buses rather than trains. The system operates similarly to metro/subway systems, with buses running between enclosed stations. A network of dedicated roads for large, bi-articulated buses runs along major arteries of the city. Local routes are served by smaller buses, on regular roads. Fares (4.25 BRL, about 1 USD) are paid on entering the station, and transfers without exiting the station are free. Timetables and live data are available on Google Maps, so you can use that to plan your trips inside the city. We are not aware of any Free alternatives with this data. All buses accept the cartão transporte (bus card), which you can buy for 3 BRL from these places . Most buses also accept cash, except for the small yellow bus , which only accepts the cartão transporte.
