Overview

Prepare yourselves to explore the history, the architecture and the culture of the capital of Santa Catarina with a local Historian! As we walk, we'll talk about the indigenous groups that occupied the Island of Santa Catarina, and travel through the 17th century, a time marked by the arrival of Portuguese colonisers and African enslaved. We'll then make our way to some of the city's main attractions until we reach the Public Market, where we'll have a short break to try local snacks and drinks like 'pastel', 'garapa', 'caipirinha' or local beers. It is also the chance for you to buy local products and souvenirs and for us to get to know each other better. After this short break, we'll explore important landmarks for the black and the artist communities in Florianopolis. We'll finish the experience with a little surprise at Miramar Memorial. Before saying goodbye, I will give you suggestions of what to do after the tour and maybe even join you at one of the city's best bars.

Meeting points

We will meet at the stairs of the Cathedral. I will be holding a folder with pictures and images.

End point

Open in Google Maps

We finish the tour at Memorial Miramar, the city's old pier.
