Latest Curitiba hotel reviews
Helpfulness
This is the newest shopping mall in town, located very near to the Barigui Park.
Excellent neighborhood, but quite far from downtown.
Shops and stores for everything you need, but prices are also sort of "salty".

In many major cities around the world, there are central pedestrian malls. In Curitiba, the main pedestrian shopping area (supposedly the first to be designed/installed in Brasil) is found on Rua Das Flores.
You will find several blocks of shopping, restaurants, and street performers here. Bustling during the day. Most shops close around 6:00pm, so best to go during business hours.
Great place to while a few hours away, people-watching and enjoying the diversity of Curitiba.
What to buy: You can find almost anything you need at Rua das Flores.
Besides shopping, check out the theatre at the HSBC main building along the mall. During my visit, I was able to catch a musical performance of local musicians, young and old, playing various classical pieces.
Along the mall, you will see street performers. One day, as I was walking along the mall, I heard a song that sounded very familiar. It was an "Abba" song ("I Had a Dream") being played by an Andean group out on the mall!

VT member lbiscaia (Luciana) already gives a great description of this Sunday fair. It was a tip she also gave me during my visit to Curitiba. It was still very lively despite the rain when I went. There are also good bookstores and art galleries in the area around the arts fair booths.
