La proprietà — Flat Petras
Flat Petras is a no-frills 3-star apart-hotel in Curitiba's commercial Centro Cívico. The lobby feels functional rather than inviting, with tiled floors and a small reception desk. It’s suited to budget-conscious travellers who want a kitchenette, a working desk, and proximity to the city’s main bus routes — not charm. You check in, get the keycard, and head straight to your flat.
Cronache di Curitiba
Curitiba was founded in 1693 as a gold-mining outpost and later became the state capital in 1853. Its big shift came in the 1960s and 70s under mayor Jaime Lerner, who introduced the world-famous Bus Rapid Transit system, pedestrianised the central Rua das Flores, and championed green spaces. The result is a city known for efficient urban planning, a strong European immigrant heritage — especially German, Italian, Ukrainian and Polish — and a cultural scene built around theatres, parks and a thriving gastronomy. Today, Curitiba is Brazil’s most liveable big city, with one of the lowest crime rates in the country.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Curitiba →I migliori mesi
April, October and November — mild temperatures around 15–22°C, low rainfall compared to summer, and most parks at their greenest without the winter chill.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is the peak month due to school winter holidays across Brazil. Expect more families in town, higher hotel prices — Flat Petras will be closer to 200–250 BRL per night — and events like the Festival de Teatro de Curitiba (postponed to July in some years).
Stagione di spalla
May and September are excellent shoulder months: rates drop by 15–25%, crowds thin, and the weather is still pleasant for walking tours.
Meteo e imballaggio
Curitiba sits on a high plateau at 900m, making it notably cooler than coastal Brazil — July lows can drop to 8–10°C. Pack a waterproof layer and a fleece; you’ll need both on the same day.
Briefing della città — Curitiba
- Curitiba’s bus fare was raised to 6.00 BRL in January 2026; load up a rechargeable ‘Cartão Transporte’ to avoid rush-hour queues.
- The Jardim Botânico is currently undergoing a fountain renovation — the main greenhouse is open, but expect some partial closures until mid-August.
- July 2026 marks the 10th edition of ‘Curitiba em Festa’, a winter food-and-music event in Praça do Japão, with street stalls and free concerts every weekend.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Flat Petras, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor, away from the lift. These upper floors reduce street-level noise and offer slightly better air circulation in Curitiba's mild climate. The hotel has only 5 floors, so mid-to-high is ideal.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor—closer to the street and any lobby noise. Also skip rooms directly adjacent to the lift shaft; the motor and door sounds carry, especially in a small 5-floor building.
Best views
Ask for a room facing away from the main street. Given Curitiba's mixed cityscape, a rear-facing room likely overlooks a quieter street or courtyard, avoiding the constant traffic hum.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are the quietest. The 5th floor is top, so no foot traffic above, and the lift is less used at that height.
🔊 Noise notes
The address 'Curitiba' suggests a central or busy area—expect traffic noise on lower floors. Lift noise is a factor in a small 5-floor hotel; request a room away from the lift core. No bar or service entrance details, but typical 3-star hotels in Brazil may have a ground-floor restaurant or reception that adds daytime bustle.
Insider tips
1. Check in late afternoon—by then, street traffic in Curitiba often eases, making it easier to gauge actual noise and request a room change. 2. Bring earplugs: the hotel's 3-star rating means soundproofing is basic; a white noise app on your phone helps.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
