    Joinville was founded in 1851 by German, Swiss and Norwegian immigrants. Even though it is considered a German-Brazilian city, its name is French (Joinville was named after François d'Orléans, prince of Joinville, son of King Louis-Philippe of France, who married Princess Francisca of Brazil, in 1843).

    The land where Joinville is located was part of the French and Brazilian Royal Family wedding gift, even though the Prince of Joinville and his Brazilian bride had never been to the land. However, a Royal Palace was built in their honor around 1870. In 1851, the French prince, after a financial crisis, sold almost all his lands in Southern Brazil to the German Senator Mathias Schröder. Senator Schröder was a member of the Colonization Society of Hamburg, which attracted immigrants to be sent to Brazil and thereby establish commercial ties between Germany and the German communities in Brazil. In 1851, the first 118 German and Swiss immigrants arrived, followed by 74 Norwegian immigrants.

    From 1850 to 1888, Joinville received 17,000 German immigrants, most of them Lutherans, poor peasants coming to occupy this part of Brazil. Later waves of immigration brought large numbers of Italian families to the area as well.

  • filter_dramaGet around
    It is easiest to get around Centro (downtown) by foot, as everything is close together. Should you wish to venture out into the suburbs, Joinville has a reliable bus network which is used heavily by locals. Tickets can be purchased from any one of the numerous bus terminals around the city, or on the buses themselves. Be warned, however: both buses painted completely blue and those with a blue stripe on each side are direct buses, they generally go from one bus station to another without stopping.

    It is important to note that Joinville is not a popular tourist destination, but rather more of a business and industrial center - the local government has not made great efforts to support and maintain many of the attractions the city enjoyed just a few years ago. Many attractions in Joinville are currently closed until further notice or under construction and not open to the public as of February 2013. It is a good idea to contact your hostel or hotel to get the most current information before making your reservations.

    * Well worth a visit if you're in the area. This is the only school run by the famous Bolshoi Ballet Company outside of Russia. Guided tours are in Portuguese (though if you're lucky the guide may be fluent enough in English to give you a run down), and should be booked in advance.
    * A part of the Atlantic Forest with walking trails and a lookout with views on Babitonga Bay.
    * Has various trails for walking or mountain biking, and a lookout point from which you can see the Aventureiro neighborhood.

    * A leisure center with an exposition center, a small park, a shopping area, a lake with pedalboats, and a model car racetrack.
    * This museum offers a glimpse of life as it was for Joinville's first European settlers . It includes a historic house set up as it would have been around 150 years ago, as well as well as a couple of sheds containing machinery which was used in past times.
    * A beautiful road with natural elements and German architecture and other German touches. Streets to either side lead to restaurants, residences, and fishing holes, and at the end of the road there is a typical German restaurant which offers dishes such as stuffed duck, and the Bonito River, good for a swim. There are also some trailheads from here.
    * A well known pedestrian-only street lined with palm trees which were brought from Rio de Janeiro in 1873. It is the quintessential postcard shot of the city.
    * Displays some fossils found in the region and tells of the northeast Santa Catarina's sambaquis, pre-historic shell-mounds created by an unknown people who lived along the coast between 6000BC and 0BC.

    In addition to the standard array of Brazilian, Italian, and Middle Eastern food that can be found pretty much anywhere in Brazil, Joinville is an excellent place to enjoy traditional [wiki=d8b00929dec65d422303256336ada04f#Eat]German[/wiki] and [wiki=c8f4261f9f46e6465709e17ebea7a92b#Eat]Swiss[/wiki] cuisine, and restaurants of this type can be found throughout the city.
