Vila Germânica
Parque Vila Germânica
A festival complex of half-timbered houses modelled on German architecture. It is the main venue for the Oktoberfest, and on ordinary days it has restaurants, craft beer bars and handicraft shops.
Vila Germânica is Blumenau's most iconic landmark. Rows of colourful half-timbered buildings imitate German towns. On ordinary days you will find German restaurants, beer halls, chocolate and souvenir shops, and bands often perform at weekends. It is the main venue for the October Oktoberfest and also hosts the Summer Festival, a craft beer festival, and the 'Christmas Magic' light show during the Christmas season. Entry is free outside festival periods. It lies about 2 km west of the city centre, roughly a 10-minute taxi ride away.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–22:00 (varies by shop)
