Introducing Joinville
While Joinville does not have the historic center (or the beer festival) of Blumenau, it does have decidedly German roots. They are evident in the city’s nouveau-Alpine architecture and in the well-manicured lawns and litter-free parks around town. The economy thrives on metallurgy, plastics and information technology, but this industrial activity is tucked neatly away from the eyes of visitors. The result is a big city with the good manners of a small town. Joinville’s citizens are proud of their prosperous, orderly home, and they welcome visitors with warm hospitality and a surplus of helpful information.
