Every year, tourism grows in Curitiba.
To attend this demand, the Linha Turismo ("Tourism Line") started in 1994.
It is a special city tour that visits the principal tourist attractions in Curitiba, featuring comfortable white buses with big windows and a shape similar to that of streetcars.
The vehicles have a sound system that plays recorded messages describing sites in three different languages: Portuguese, English and Spanish.
It is possible to visit the parks, squares and the rest of the city's tourist attractions.
Considered one of the best in the country, the Linha Turismo is available every thirty minutes and has a two and a half-hour tour, which travels around forty-four kilometers.
To go on the tour you must buy a ticket with five tickets that give you the right to get on and off bus four times.
Users can therefore choose the touristic point where they want to stay longer.
Then, they can embark again to complete the remaining part of the itinerary.
Today the line goes to 25 key reference points in Curitiba, completing 44 km in 2 and ½ hours.

According to a study done by the International Congress & Convention Association (ICCA), Curitiba is the sixth Brazilian city with the largest number of international events and, according to the FIPE, is the third city to receive foreign tourists for business.
In 2006, the city placed 6th among the best Brazilian cities to hold events and tourism business; in the same year, the flow of tourists outnumbered the number of inhabitants.
Out of about the 2 million visitors, approximately half landed the business.
To attend the growing demand, the number of hotels in the city has developed and is now considered the fourth largest in the country.
Curitiba and its Metropolitan Area have a modern hotel infrastructure, with 150 hotels and service flats totaling 18 thousand beds (as per May 2005).
The good restaurants and customized services are approved by 92.4% of those who leave the city, according the Secretariat of State for Tourism of Paraná.
In 2007, Curitiba was elected as one of the 4 best Brazilian cities for travel and tourism, according to a major Brazilian magazine about tourism.
In 2008 another important magazine said that Curitiba is the best cultural destination and better cost-benefit to tourism in the South region of Brazil.
