Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Café Bar do Largo d'Alfândega to begin this free tour around Florianópolis. Once we're all together, we'll begin the tour around the historic centre, popularly known as Floripa, and we'll learn of the secrets of its most important monuments and buildings.

Who were the first inhabitants of the island of Santa Catarina? While we walk, we'll learn about the indigenous tribes that founded Florianópolis, taking us back to the 17th century, a time marked by the arrival of Portuguese colonisers and African slaves.

After learning about the founders of the nicknamed "magic island", we'll make our way to the Cruz e Sousa Palace, the old headquarters of the State Government, and the November 15th Square. The beauty of these places will amaze you!

We'll continue exploring Florianópolis walking around Largo da Alfândega until we reach the Public Market. The following stop will be at the façade of the Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos Church. In addition, we'll also pass by the Álvaro de Carvalho Theatre, one of the most beautiful monuments in the city.

Before finishing, we'll walk down Hercílio Luz Avenue until we arrive at Santa Bárbara Fort, two locations that must be discussed in order to understand Florianópolis.

After 2 hours of a guided visit, the Florianópolis free tour will come to an end at the Miramar Memorial.
