Marche Public de Florianopolis

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
Visit during weekdays if you can. Saturdays can get super crowded, and you'll spend more time dodging people than enjoying the market vibe. I went on a Tuesday and it felt more relaxed.

Keep an eye out for the local craft stands. I found some amazing handmade souvenirs that were much more affordable than in touristy shops. It’s a great way to support local artisans.
Metropolitan Cathedral of Florianopolis

I suggest bringing a camera, but also just taking a moment to soak in the atmosphere without snapping photos. Some of my best memories are just standing there appreciating the peace.

Plan your visit on a weekday if you can. The weekends can get pretty crowded, making it hard to enjoy the beautiful details of the architecture.

My advice is to check the schedule for any special events or masses before you go. I accidentally stumbled on a lovely choir performance which made the visit super special!
