Restaurants: 10% service charge is often included; if not, a 10% tip is customary. Taxis: no tip required, but rounding up is fine. Hotel staff: small tips (R$5-10) for porters or cleaners.

Top Attractions in Araranguá
💡 Visit during the Festa de São José parade (19 March) when the square fills with food stalls and live music. Otherwise, pop in on a weekday morning when it's quiet and the light through the windows is best.
💡 The volunteer guide (Seu João) has great stories about the town's ghost train. Ask him about the 'Maria Fumaça' locomotive. The museum is often empty on weekday afternoons.
💡 Go on a Sunday morning when the square hosts a small craft fair with local honey and cachaça. The railway museum inside the station only opens irregularly; call ahead (48 99123-5678) to check.
💡 The best spot is the public pier near the diving platform at the south end. Bring mosquito repellent after 3 pm. There's a cheap pastel stall (Pastel do Zé) by the car park on weekends.
💡 Arrive early morning to see the fishermen hauling nets. Bring your own food; the few kiosks charge tourist prices. The climb up the hill is steep but only takes 15 minutes.
