During this walking tour in downtown Curitiba, you will have the chance to hear many stories about the beginning, economic development and actual history of the city. Everything has been researched in official libraries and old newspapers to bring you information which is hard to find and mostly unknown even by locals. The complete tour is of about 5 kilometres (2.2 mi) long and you will also take a public bus to avoid walking twice on the same street. This is a perfect tour for those who enjoy wholly learning about a city and hearing its official and unofficial historical legends.
