The state’s largest city lies 2 km from the main coastal highway (BR-101), within a two-hour drive of Curitiba and Florianópolis. Joinville is known as the ‘city of the princes’ for its historical connections with royalty. It is also nicknamed the ‘city of flowers’, and even ‘Manchester Catarinense’. The large German population gives it a distinctly European feel, and the city is well-ordered, attractively maintained and easy to navigate on foot.
Lauro Carneiro de Loyola airport (13 km from the city centre) receives flights from São Paulo; a taxi from the airport to the centre costs US$10. Joinville is connected by bus to the larger cities in the south and south east of Brazil. The rodoviária (2.5 km outside the town, south exit, T047-3433 2991) has regular bus services to the centre.
