Top Architecture in Florianopolis

Finally, grab a map or download one beforehand. The market can be a bit overwhelming, and I found it helpful to identify the sections that interested me the most, like the artisan areas or food spots.

Bring cash! Some vendors only accept cash, and it’ll save you from the hassle of finding ATMs. Plus, some might offer better prices for cash transactions.

If you're a foodie like me, don’t skip the fresh seafood stalls! I tried a delicious grilled octopus that was to die for. Don’t hesitate to ask vendors about their daily specials too - they often have hidden gems.

Plan for lunch here! The food court has a ton of options, but I recommend the pastel de feira. Grab it and enjoy it with a cold coconut water while you soak in the atmosphere

I suggest bringing a camera but also just taking some time to soak in the ambiance without snapping pics. Trust me, the beauty hits different in person!

If you're planning to visit the Metropolitan Cathedral, definitely go in the morning around 9 AM. It’s less crowded, and you can really enjoy the stunning architecture without all the noise.

If you're planning to have a meal nearby after your visit, ask locals for recommendations instead of relying on online reviews. I found a hidden gem just a block away that wasn’t listed anywhere!

I think you should try to grab a coffee at a nearby café after your visit. It’s a nice way to relax and chat about your experience - plus, you can find some tasty local treats!

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes! The terrain can be uneven, and you want to explore every corner of the fort without worrying about sore feet later.

I suggest bringing some snacks and water. There aren't many options around, and you'll want to enjoy the view without feeling rushed to leave for food.
