Lake Igapo II: A Complete Redevelopment
glabah Says: It should be noted that while various Londrina memorabilia talk of "Lake Igapo" the fact is there are really four Lakes Igapo, numbered I, II, III and IV.Not long ago, on a visit to Londrina, Lake Igapo II was still a considerable mess, with a lot of trash around the...
glabah Says: On the maps, you will actually find several parts of this park called different things, but the fact of it is that "Parque Municipal Arthur Thomas" is the most well known name, and I have never heard anyone in Londrina use any other name for this area.The park is the city's...
Parque Estadual Mata dos Godoy
glabah Says: NOTE: This tip is still in progress and efforts are still being made for various parts of it. Photos will be coming later.Located far to the southwest of the city, and in fact located in the countryside quite far outisde the urban limits, Parque Estadual Mata dos Godoy...
glabah Says: The museum is a project of the State University of Londrina (Universidade Estadual de Londrina - UEL) and is located in the old train station - which no longer has any track going to it. The location is just north of downtown. The museum survives entirely on donations and...
glabah Says: Connecting the core of downtown Londrina with a street that is a dedicated pedestrian walkway has proven to be a huge success here, and along the sidewalk you will find a number of shops (both large and small), various restaurants, a number of banks, and various other...

Roberto's / Pastel do Roberto's: Pastels of Many Sorts, including Dessert!
glabah Says: Generally, when a place is able to say they have been in a location for a long period, it is a good sign. Roberto's is not an exception to this rule, and as long as you like pastel you should be OK at this restaurant.But first, a little explanation of what a pastel is in...
Donatello Pizzaria: Great Pizza and Reasonably Priced
glabah Says: Located reasonably close to downtown, the Donatello Pizzaria is not a rodisio style pizzaria, but still serves some wonderful Brazilian style pizza in a number of different forms.Small sizes range from the R$11 range, and larger pizzas may be in the R$28 range.They have some...
Tele-Pizza: You can Find Better Food Elsewhere
glabah Says: You will not find photographs to go with this tip, and neither does the restaurant deserve to be memorialized in photos. The service was extremely slow - so much so that even the Brazilians I was with thought that the wait was far too long. Also, it was obvious that pizza...
Rovani: West End of Calçadão, Fine Snacks and Juices
glabah Says: Located in the middle of a busy section of downtown offices and shops, and with a door facing the busy pedestrian mall known as the Calçadão, Rovani features a mixture of fruit juices, common Brazilian lunch snack food, and a self service section at the rear of the...
Pizza e Pizza: Rumor Has It the Pizza Next Door is Better
glabah Says: Perhpas the most bizarre story about this Pizza establishment is that it survives on leftovers from the pizza establishment next door, and in fact that is how I wound up there.It seems that some years back this was all one huge pizza restaurant. However, several years ago...
RafaGoes Says: Londrina has a simple nightlife, not many options though...anyways, here you can find all sort of night spots... i'm really out of whats going on here... but most of the nightlife during the week is based on bars/pubs... the city has lots of university students... on...
Rodoviaria Location Close to Downtwon
glabah Says: Brazil has a wonderful intercity bus system. The intercity bus terminal located in each city is called a Rodoviaria. The North American travel books that you will find typically describe the Rodoviaria as being located on the In Londrina, the Rodoviaria is located quite...
Gui Lembranças - Shopping Royal: Assortment of T-Shirts and Trinkets
glabah Says: Lembranças is the word used in Brasilian Portuguese for small items that serve as a reminder of a place, and is derived from Portuguese for "remember". It is essentially how we would use souvenir in English, though I have been told there are some differences in what it...
Feida da Lua (basically Market by Moonlight): Junk, Food, Junk Food, and Unusual Stuff
glabah Says: On Wednesday evenings, there is a street market near the west side of downtown, close to the "Zerão" athletic track and very close to the very large ampitheatre that is located near this facility.This market is like any street market: what you will find depends on who shows...
CriArTroféus: Not Just Trophies
glabah Says: Originally just a sports trophy shop, it has grown to include an excellent assortment of rock and rock sculpture (including raw rock for those interested in doing their own sculpting) wood carvings, and many other items.They do not have t-shirts, but a huge number of other...
Calçadão Sunday Morning Open Market: Open Market of Local Handcrafts
glabah Says: During the days, the big pedestrian sidewalk, created from closed streets, that goes through the central section of Londrina serves as a market for a number of different items, from department store to a few local craft booths.On Sunday mornings, however, all of the large...
nnoah Says: When in a restaurant, the tip is often included in the bill, but when not, tipping rules are generally the same as in the U.S. - 10% for bad service, 15% for good and 15% for excellent. A tip is called a 'gorjeta' in Brazil.In Brazil it is considered rude to eat a sandwich...
nnoah Says: Dating rules are different as well in Brazil: there isn't the same approach to casual dating as in the U.S. If two people are interested in each other, they will typically go out in a group with friends until the two know each other well, and will only go out alone if a...
glabah Says: This is not something that is easy to arrange, nor is it something that the average tourist gets to experience. However, Londrina was once a primary capitol of coffee production, and if you are interested in how coffee is grown and produced you should visit a coffee...
Large Catholic Cemetery Close to Downtown
glabah Says: Located just a few blocks south of downtown Londrina, the Cemitério São Pedro was just outside the city when it was originally laid out. However, the city has grown around it and now it is pretty much within the central business district, though slightly south of the true...
