How to Pack for a Trip to Curitiba

Curitiba is known for its unique climate, which can go through all four seasons in a single day. Because of this, packing for a trip to the capital of Paraná requires some strategy and attention to the time of year. Here are some tips to help you plan effectively:

1. Always Pack a Jacket

Although Curitiba is colder between May and August, even in summer, the nights can be cool. Bring at least a light jacket, especially if you plan to go out at night or visit one of the many parks in the city.

Bonus Tip: In winter, opt for warmer jackets and accessories like scarves, beanies, and gloves.


2. Layering is Key

Mornings can be chilly, but the sun often comes out in the afternoon and warms things up. Wearing layered clothing will help you adapt throughout the day:

  • A light shirt or t-shirt as a base
  • Thin sweaters or pullovers for the middle layer
  • A waterproof jacket or coat on top

This way, you can add or remove layers as the weather changes. After all, living in Curitiba is like being in The Karate Kid: "Put on the jacket, take off the jacket."


3. "Chuvitiba" is No Joke

Curitiba has a reputation for being rainy, especially in certain seasons (like summer).

So, be sure to pack:

  • A compact umbrella or raincoat
  • Waterproof or quick-drying shoes


4. Choose Comfortable Footwear

The city has many parks, forests, and cobblestone sidewalks. To make the most of your walks without discomfort, opt for comfortable sneakers—especially for visits to places like Vila Velha State Park and Buraco do Padre.


5. Pay Attention to the Time of Year

  • Summer (December to March): Light clothing, but bring a light jacket for the evenings and an umbrella.
  • Autumn (April to June): Milder temperatures; invest in mid-season clothing.
  • Winter (July and August): Get ready for the cold! Bring heavy coats, warm socks, and winter accessories.
  • Spring (September to November): The weather is unpredictable—layer up and don’t forget an umbrella.


6. Don’t Overpack

Even though Curitiba’s weather can be unpredictable, you don’t need to bring your entire wardrobe! Pack a versatile and compact suitcase with mix-and-match pieces suitable for different temperatures.



Final Tips

Besides clothing, consider bringing practical items like a lightweight backpack for day trips, a reusable water bottle, and sunscreen (even on cloudy days—your skin will thank you!).


Whether you're enjoying the cool winter breeze or the summer warmth, Curitiba is charming any time of the year. With the right packing list, you’ll be ready to make the most of everything the city has to offer!
