By bus
Curitiba's Bus & Train Station (Estacao Rodoferroviária) is a large station with 3 terminals (train terminal, interstate bus terminal and intrastate bus terminal) provides scheduled bus service from Curitiba to all over Brazil, as well as locations in Argentina, Chile and Paraguay.
Actually the bus is the best way to come from or go through Sao Paulo and Florianopolis, since the travel doesn't last too long and the bus terminals are strategically located downtown in these cities (avoiding traffic jams and long transfers to distant airports). Sao Paulo Station is not located exactly downtown but is nearby, and has a subway station inside the terminal. Curitiba-Sao Paulo: travel time 6h, RS60-80, departures every hour (there's no need to book in advance). Curitiba-Florianopolis: travel time 4h30, RS 50-70, lots of departures every day (although not so widespread than to Sao Paulo)
By plane
Curitiba is one of the major cities of Brazil and is served by a international airport, named Aeroporto Afonso Pena, which is in the nearby city of Sao José dos Pinhais and about 17 km (10.6 miles) from Curitiba city center. There are daily scheduled departures to Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Brasília and other major cities. It also serves flights to other Paraná State cities, such as Foz do Iguacu, Londrina and Maringá. International destinations with scheduled flights from Curitiba are Buenos Aires (Ezeiza), Montevideo and Asunción, although other destinations may be eventually served on a non-scheduled basis.
Major airlines such as Gol, Pluna and TAM provide scheduled services to other cities, including those in Paraná State, as well as international destinations. Other minor airlines, such as OceanAir, Webjet, Passaredo and TRIP, also serve Curitiba in scheduled and non-scheduled basis.
