Why this trip

Florianópolis consists of an island, a bridge and dozens of beaches, each with its own character: on one side Brazilians surf, on the other lies a bay with calm water. The city in the south of Brazil is for travellers a counterpoint to Rio, with less bustle and more nature. The Ponte Hercílio Luz connects island and mainland and glows at night as the landmark of the city. In the city centre stands the totem Eu Amo Floripa, a popular meeting point, and for the rest of the island you need a car or a driver.

Lagoa da Conceição and the beaches in the north and south show why Florianópolis is called the Island of Magic. The best travel season is from May to October, when it is drier than in summer. Rio de Janeiro and Salvador are neighbours within reach. Plan five to seven nights if the island is the main destination, because the beaches are far apart.

Cash in reais is important at markets and in small restaurants, and avoid tap water. For an occasion that needs recovery, Florianópolis offers a lot of room. A travel period is fixed early.
