XV Street - Curitiba

XV Street is a very special street in Curitiba, a big city in the state of Paraná, Brazil. It's right in the heart of downtown Curitiba. What makes it so unique is that since 1971, only people are allowed to walk there! No cars, no buses, just pedestrians.

Discovering XV Street

This street was the very first "promenade" (a street just for walking) in all of Brazil. It's a busy and exciting place, full of different shops and yummy restaurants. You can find all sorts of things there, from clothes to souvenirs. It's a really famous spot in Curitiba that many people love to visit.

Fun Things to Do and See

XV Street is always lively. It's a great place to meet friends, go shopping, or just enjoy a walk. At the end of each year, something really cool happens here: a show called "At The Palace Coral Avenue." It's a big event that brings lots of people together to celebrate. The street is known for its vibrant atmosphere and is a must-see if you visit Curitiba.
