What to see and do

  • Traditional architecture, with half-timbered buildings worth looking at as you stroll the centre.

  • Beer gardens, where the city's German roots come through in both the drinks and the atmosphere.

  • Authentic German cuisine, offered in local restaurants for those who want to taste the heritage as well as see it.

Oktoberfest

Blumenau is famous for its Oktoberfest celebration, which draws visitors who want to experience the German traditions the city has kept alive. If you plan a trip around the festival, expect the town to be busy and lively, and book accommodation ahead.

Blumenau suits travellers interested in culture, food and a change of scene within Brazil. Its charm lies less in grand monuments than in its streets, buildings and table, so give yourself time to wander and to sit down for a meal.
