This quick guide to Florianopolis neighbourhoods will enlighten you on the transport links available to you as well as the areas to avoid!
The first thing a good guide to Florianopolis neighbourhoods will point out is the safe neighbourhoods. Ironically enough, they have all of the tourist attractions within their boundaries! There are in fact twelve districts in Florianopolis, but the majority of the districts do not have a crime problem as such. However, the main area to avoid, in terms of this guide to Florianopolis neighbourhoods, is Palhoca. It is a suburb 14 km away from the centre of Florianopolis and has one of the highest crime rate sin the area. It is a big slum, although there are a few nicer areas on the outskirts. It is a poor area of town and this shows in the crime statistics printed in any guide to Florianopolis neighbourhoods. I terms of what’s nearby, there is very little of interest. The majority of sights are further away from this area, which is why the undesirables have settled there. They would not blend in elsewhere!
In terms of Florianopolis bus travel, the service is very good. Any good guide to Florianopolis neighbourhoods will tell you that the service is divided into nine routes. The Direta, Semi-Direta, Paradora, Alimentadora and the Linha de Bairro are the most popular because they will literally take you all over the city. The buses are comfortable, as many guides to Florianopolis neighbourhoods have pointed out before, and they actually run on time, which is always a bonus! The same cannot be said for the trains.
The trains in the guide to Florianopolis neighbourhoods rarely run on time and pass through bad areas of the city. Undesirables may get on and make your feel uncomfortable so they are best avoided unless absolutely necessary.
If you want to go somewhere in a hurry, then avoid flagging down a Florianopolis taxi. Try to get to an official depot for a Florianopolis taxi because some of the guides to Florianopolis neighbourhoods will point out that there are various fake taxis out there that will charge you the Earth and worse if you happen to be female!
There are things to watch out for wherever you go, but any comprehensive guide to Florianopolis neighbourhoods will give you a few safety tips to use from the moment you land until the moment that you leave. As in any other publication, this guide to Florianopolis neighbourhoods urges you to be safe and never take shortcuts, especially in unfamiliar areas because it could cost you more than your wallet!
