🇧🇷 Curitiba – No Wonder It's a Top Livable City! 🌳
As the capital of Paraná state in southern Brazil, Curitiba is worlds apart from São Paulo in cleanliness and urban planning—no surprise it was one of the first cities to earn the "livable city" title. Though not huge in size, its green spaces are incredible, with over 200 parks (but then again, Brazil never lacks lush nature). As one of the greenest cities in the world, it's no wonder even the wild capybaras here live stress-free lives. 😌 For travelers, the city feels very safe—you can comfortably use your phone in public without the tension of São Paulo. Unless you're taking the scenic Serra Verde Express train, two days are enough to explore: jog in the parks, soak up the locals' healthy lifestyle 🏃, and unwind. 🚌 City Bus Tip: Hop on the tourist bus (departs from Rua 24 Horas)—it covers all major parks and museums. Tickets cost R$50 (24-hour pass), with hop-on/hop-off privileges (every ~30 mins). Sitting on the open-top deck on a sunny day is pure bliss! 🍽️ Must-Try Restaurant: Restaurante Maria Eugênia (in the Italian district, Santa Felicidade)—a jungle-like oasis with amazing ambiance. Perfect for a relaxed meal surrounded by nature. #Capybara #Curitiba #Brazil #Running #Wanderlust #UrbanExploration #WeekendGetaway #WarmCityVibes #SouthAmerica
