Super safe, nothing happens here. Don't have to worry about safety and people are really nice, calm and sociable. Also, beaches are safe, plenty of tourists, nobody worries about robbery or violations.
Posted: March 1, 2025Floripa is a really safe city, with many nice beaches and neighborhoods. However, downtown is not very safe at night, so I wouldn’t recommend walking alone in this area at night. Areas like Campeche, Rio tavares, Lagoa da conceição are pretty safe
Posted: February 12, 2025Florianópolis is a city where I generally feel safe, especially in well-populated and tourist areas. The streets are well-lit, and there are usually people around, which makes walking at night more comfortable. However, like in any city, it's important to stay alert, as there can be cases of robberies, particularly in less busy areas or late at night. In the city center, it’s common to see homeless people, which can sometimes make certain spots feel less safe, but most of them are not a threat. Overall, by taking basic precautions, I feel comfortable moving around Florianópolis, even at night.
Posted: February 4, 2025The city has many areas and, like any capital, depending on the area you are, it's more and less risky. Where I live, in the south of the island, is really calm and safe. The more central area of the city and the northern region require a little more attention on walking on the street, to avoid any kind of problem.
Posted: January 2, 2025I would recommend keeping an eye specially when it’s dark and/or you don’t see many people around. There are parts of downtown that sometimes can be a little scary (more homeless people than other areas) but other than that I feel pretty safe here.

the city is considered safe, but remains a city in Latin America. It is necessary to always be careful and avoid walking at night in some neighborhoods of the city, especially in the downtown and in very deserted places.

Florianópolis is a place with beautiful beaches and infrastructure. It is worth visiting and enjoying the tours, appreciating the landscapes, and indulging in the dining options as well. The cost of living is a bit higher.
Posted: December 8, 2024It is a really nice city, the public transportation is not good at all so I recommend having a bike or a car rented. Overall people were really kind, of course in the center of the city is more dangerous so you need to be extra careful there
