Palácio Avenida

Palácio Avenida is a historic building in downtown Curitiba known for its early 20th-century architecture. Travelers visit the site to view its exterior design and, during the year-end holiday season, to watch the choreographed Christmas light show performed in its windows.

Getting There

The building is located directly in the city centre. Since it is situated in the heart of the downtown district, it is accessible by foot from most central hotels and transit hubs. Travel time within the centre typically takes only a few minutes.

Visit Duration

A visit to view the architecture and the exterior usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. During the Christmas season, allow extra time to wait for the light show performances.

When to Visit

The site can be visited at any time of day, though the holiday displays are viewed after dark. Be aware that the area becomes very crowded during the December holiday period due to the popularity of the light show.
