Florianópolis: Attractions and more...
Florianópolis also satisfies people who appreciate historical places.
The forts from XVIII century, risen up to protect the island against foreign
invaders can be visited and proportionate good strolls. The city center has
reconstructed ancient buildings, such as Palácio Cruz (Cruz Palace) and
Souza with historical museum, the building where it was Alfândega (Customhouse)
and Mercado Municipal (Municipal Market).
Roughly saying, the island can be
divided in two sectors: in the north is the most visited side by tourists and
because of that, the busiest and with the best services infrastructure. In some
quarters notice a strong influence in the population architecture and customs.
The most ancient livers of Florianópolis still have in the way they speak,
in the craftwork activities and in the popular parties, the heritage left by
immigrants from Portuguese islands from Azores. The south of the island preserved
intensely Azorean customs that arrived there from the XVIII century. The cookery
is also based on sea foods - fishes, shrimps, mussels that are served in simple
restaurants near the sea or in well-equipped establishments. Many Brazilian
of other states and foreigners that arrived to live in the island, brought sophistication
and a cosmopolitan atmosphere to Florianópolis. The city also offers
resorts and good hotels.
