Hi Natalie,
I had never heard of Florianopolis. Amazing! So beautiful. I need to get to Brazil eventually, north and south. Because I have only seen Peru in South America. Time to expand my horizons. Especially with those gorgeous beaches.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
Absolutely, Brazil is stunning. If possible come to Floripa between November and March. During summertime the city never sleeps 😉
Cheers,
I am considering going to Floripa in March…could you tell me what to expect regarding the weather?
Kevin in Canada
Hi Kevin,
March is usually warm and dry. My favorite month, the weather is great and the city is not jam-packed 😉
Enjoy!
Thank you for all the great information. I will be in Florianopolis in November. I am really excited to visit, see the culture, try the food and see the amazing beaches.
Enjoy Floripa!
HI, I’ll be in Floripa end of October and early November. Any tips to travel with baby in Floripa? Is it convenient to travel around with stroller there? BAsed on that, which area should i find accommodation? Are there any all inclusive hotels/resorts there?
Much Thanks
Hi,
We have 0 experience of traveling with kids, can’t help you on that.
The city center has some narrow pathwalks wich might be a drag for a stroller.
In Jurere area you will find good resorts.
I’d love to hire someone to take us from the cruise ship in Porto Belo to do a day tour like this in Florianopolis (Feb. 2020) , but the link to gobe.com gave me an error message. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Hi Debbie,
Unfortunately, Gobe is no longer in business. I would suggest checking with your cruise company, they might have the contact of local tour operators.
Hi. Do you have the name of the restaurant or anything near it? Would love to visit a real authentic restaurant in the area. Thanks !
Hi Lola,
We ate at “Restaurante e Pousada Beira Mar” located right by the beach in Barra da Lagoa. Try the “Anchova” or “Tainha”.
Enjoy “Floripa”!
Cheers,
Hi Robson,
Me and my partner are considering to visit Floripa in May. Can you suggest a beach to hang out for 3-4 days possibly a air Band B? Obrigado!
A beach we can air B and B that is…
Campeche or matadeiro?
Hi Drayton,
Campeche will offer you way more options for restaurants and places to stay. Matadeiro is undeveloped if you want to stay close to it I would suggest staying in “Praia da Armação”
I spent 12 years in Florianópolis it’s a very expensive city.
Now I live in Arlington, Massachusetts which isn’t all that different.
