Botanical Garden

Besides having a treasure trove of native plants, the Curitiba Botanical Garden is also known for its greenhouse, made of iron and glass and inspired in London's Crystal Palace. The garden's official name - Jardim Botânico Francisca Maria Garfunkel Rischbieter - celebrates a pioneer urbanist who greatly contributed to the urban planning of Curitiba.
Other attractions are the Botanical Museum and a cultural center with works donated to Curitiba by artist Frans Krajcberg.
