Hum...Florianopolis is not a large city (400.000 habitants), it has a good quality of life, it's organized and people there are polite...But it's not an interesting city for who likes funny, history, good beaches, culture and Colonial constructions... The state of Santa Catarina is cool! In the other cities, there are many options of leisure and culture. German people colonized the interior of the state and there are many beautiful and historical constructions! Maybe you'll like the city because it's gonna be a new experience for you, this is gonna be a new thing...But I don't think that Florinaopolis is a good city to live during many time...

hi Florianopolis is beautiful city, many Brazilian love to visit Floripa. The main attraction here is the beaches or marine sports such as surfing, diving, windsurf and etc.. Or you can just visit there and have some beers. Summer goes until March or April, if you want to appreciate the summer activity, I recommend you starts get going right after you arrive to the city. You would enjoy the city much better if you drive the car, bcz the public transportation here is so terrible, but not that complicated, just need patience. The southern part of the island has many beautiful beaches w/ nature, the northern part is more developed, many celebrities used to like Jurere Internacional Beach. If you like some adventure, I recommend, you visit Campeche Island. Winter here is pretty boring, nothing to do, used to have a huge line in front of cinema on weekend. The cafes or coffee shop will be packed in the city. If you'd like to visit other city in Brazil, I suggest you do in June-August. Because the northern part of Brazil doesn't get that cold like in Floripa. Here, you don't need 100% wool coat but good jacket in winter time, gets down around 10℃. I am foreigner, living here for 10 yrs, love this city, hope you like also. Have a nice stay:)
