Curitiba Weather in April

Mild days, frequent showers

April feels like a gentle autumn month in Curitiba. Afternoons reach 24°C, while evenings cool to 15°C. Rain falls on 14 days, and cloudy skies are common, so expect changeable plans rather than long stretches of sun.

You can still enjoy the Botanical Garden and stroll through Parque Barigui when the paths are dry. For wet spells, the Oscar Niemeyer Museum gives you an easy indoor stop. Skip planning a full day around sunshine at the parks; showers can interrupt a long walk.

April events and holidays

The Festival de Curitiba, a major theatre and performing arts event, often takes place in March or April. Shows are spread across the city, so you may find performances near Largo da Ordem as well as in central venues.

Easter sometimes falls in April, and Tiradentes Day is a national holiday on April 21. Holiday opening hours can vary, so check specific museums and restaurants before heading out.

Crowds, costs and a local tip

April is usually calmer than Curitiba's summer holiday period, with less pressure on hotels and attractions. It can be a good-value time to visit, though Festival de Curitiba may make popular show nights busier. May and July to August are among the city's best months overall, so April trades a little comfort for quieter days.

If you hate crowds, visit the Botanical Garden on a weekday. Travelling with kids? On rainy afternoons, pair the Oscar Niemeyer Museum with a meal of barreado, a slow-cooked beef dish found in Paraná. Check whether your chosen restaurant serves it that day.
