Florianópolis, or Floripa as it is more commonly known, is a fantastic place, a vibrant mix of the best Brazil offers. Whether you come to enjoy the incredible variety of beaches, lagoons, mountains and dunes, or the party vibe of the island, you cannot fail to fall in love with one of the most popular destinations in Brazil. The infrastructure is good, while perhaps due to its relatively large size it is easy to find places which are secluded and, in many cases, almost untouched. There is plenty of accommodation where you can find luxury and tourist hotels as well as budget accommodation, the guest houses/pousadas. There are fine restaurants serving high quality food, at prices to suit all pockets. There are many bars and clubs, catering to all tastes, and the nightlife during the season is very lively. It is one of the most popular destination in Brazil, due to its unique combination of superb beaches, a unique culture, beautiful scenery, and a cosmopolitan mix of people.
