Maps and Orientation of the City

Most will agree that the island can be treated as two main sectors. The northern side of Florianopolis tends to be favoured by sightseers and maintains a comprehensive tourist infrastructure. The south remains a more local area, with a strong Portuguese character and colonial architecture celebrating its history, when settlers arrived from the Archipelago of Azores and also Madeira.

Central Florianopolis is where you will find the spacious public square named the Praca XV de Novembro, together with an impressive fig tree planted more than 100 years ago. Maps of Florianopolis are not always easy to come by, with the best outlets including the long-distance bus station and also the Convention and Visitors Centre, which stands on the Rua Jeronimo Coelho.
