Curitiba is Brazil's model city — world-famous for its urban planning, rapid bus lanes, and park network. Oscar Niemeyer's eye-catching museum is an architectural masterpiece, the botanical garden is a European marvel in the tropics, and European immigrant heritage (Italian, Polish, Ukrainian, German) shows in the food culture.
