Inaugurated in 1991, this botanical garden is a gem of Curitiba. Spread over an enormous area of 245,000 square meters, its geometrical gardens, greenhouses and Botanical museum have become the identity of the city.

Home to plants native to the Atlantic forests of Brazil, the architecture of the green house is striking as well. Metal and art-nouveau style structure inspired by the crystal palace that existed in London in the 19th century is worth admiring.

The Frans Krajcberg cultural space in Municipal Botanical museum also hosts a permanent exhibition of 114 sculptures of the various prominent artists and environmentalists.

Beautiful walking trails adorn the garden, making it pleasant for an afternoon stroll or a early morning walk!
