Camping Hostel Kombi

The main pull here is the Botanical Garden of Curitiba, but for more pretty scenery, head to one of the area’s parks – Parque Barigui (20 minutes by car) and Parque Tangua (25 minutes) are fine choices for pleasant walks and bike rides. Or entertain the kids at Parque MikeWood (10 minutes), home to ziplining, trampolines, slides, ball pools and climbing walls. Football fan in tow? How about a visit to the local football stadiums, Arena da Baixada (10 minutes) and Estádio Major Antônio Couto Pereira (15 minutes), for a tour? And for a culture hit (a really big one) museums are in no short supply – just a few to choose from nearby include Museu de Arte Indígena (10 minutes), which showcases original art made by Brazilian natives, including pieces made of feathers, pottery, weaves, musical instruments and ritualistic masks; Museu Oscar Niemeyer (15 minutes), a contemporary art and design museum; Museu do Holocausto de Curitiba (15 minutes), dedicated to the victims and survivors of the Holocaust; and an Egyptian museum, Museu Egipcio Ordem Rosacruz (20 minutes).
