Located a distance of 120 km from São Paulo, Holambra is acknowledged as the biggest producer of flowers and plants in Latin America, comprising roughly 45% of the nation’s overall production. The city, with its abundant green spaces and characteristic architecture, subtly showcases its history, customs, and cultural heritage. The beginning of its establishment is traced back to Dutch immigration, which started to reach the former Ribeirão Farm in the late 1940s. Its moniker symbolizes the fusion of two nations and cultures, combining elements of Holland(HOL), America(AM), and Brazil(BRA).

Romantic Tour in Holambra - I went for a walk with my boyfriend last Saturday at Expoflora. However, since I already knew the city, I decided to make a different script with him, which I did not know. We arrived early and started by Macena, a beautiful, passionate place that guarantees excellent photos. Then, Moinho (difficult to park and it is not worth paying to climb), the waterfall square (beautiful picture for filming),Deck of love (we bought locked with our initials and kept in the harvested heart near the lake), We had lunch in a restaurant, sloping in the museum, Restaurant da Fazenda (excellent, took advantage of the Expoflora event, the kilo was around 110,00, food nothing extraordinary, there was no coffee to serve, only paid). And then, we entered Expoflora, a giant shopping center, whose focus was the trade and not the flowers, you can't see everything, so we made choices: museum, arrangement exhibition, typical dances, show on the stages and petal rain, which I was excited. I didn't eat anything in there and I didn't even park (75,00), I left the car on the street. After the petal rain, I went for an afternoon coffee outside of Expoflora. (If you leave you don't come back, which I found absurd) And I returned well the night. A beautiful and striking day with a different script. Only Expoflora is frustrating, does not justify the value.

Knowing the Dutch culture - Very nice! It was nice to get to know some of the Dutch culture. Spend the day at the expoflora and marvel at the floral arrangements. I was a little disappointed in the part of food, quite expensive, but ok for tourist city, but I paid expensive and I was not satisfied in a place that made dishes. Hard and fat-filled meat, I threw almost everything away. The rose petals ice cream surprised me. I found it even better than the washing picole. Different and good. For my first time I ⁇ the place, meet the dances and typical food, but who has been in other years complained of this (2024) few plants pars buy and scarce garden. I believe the drought has affected.

Enchanting City - I was in Holambra yesterday, 20/04 and I simply loved it. It's a charming city. To stroll, rest, eat and enjoy some attractions. Unfortunately, I left home a little late and got there midday, I'm from São Paulo and it's a two-hour trip. Some attractions end between 5 and 6 pm and for those who go there at night, the tracks are not lit, so for those who are not used to it, the ideal is to arrive early, enjoy the day and leave before dark. That aside, the city is wonderful, lots of food options. We had lunch at the Lago do Holandês restaurant, which is a reference there, but very crowded. We waited more than 1 hour to enter the restaurant, and after we placed our order it took another half hour to arrive. Conclusion, we arrived at the restaurant at 2:30 pm and left at 5:00 pm. The ideal is to make a reservation, we didn't know that.

Beautiful city, well maintained and easy to walk around. - The city is beautiful. Very well cared for, clean and safe. In two days you can see the entire city (by car or bike). We followed a route passing through the Portico, Praça da Bandeira, Monumento dos Imigrantes, Mill, beautiful Praça da Prefeitura, Church, Rua Coberta, Deck do Amor and Boulevard, where there is a restaurant and also where it is possible to try delicious ice creams made from Lavender, Roses, Jasmine , Hibiscus among others at Cafeteria Rosas de Holambra (I highly recommend it). The next day, you can visit flower fields in the morning (I went to Macena Flores and loved it) and also Van Gogh Park in the afternoon. All locations are easy to park. At the entrance to the city there are several stores where you can buy flower seedlings, seeds and other similar things.

Holambra - a feast of flowers and trade! - All very beautiful, well cared for and organized. Bathrooms in adequate quantity for the public, constantly sanitized. Expensive tickets, tumultuous entrance (not practical, digital + paper? I don't understand), food and drinks are expensive and you can't bring even water from outside - absurd! Some exhibitions do not receive much emphasis from the organizers (Van Gogh, Holambra Museum, Typical Dances). I'm glad I met you, but I'm not going back.

A very beautiful city - A city worth visiting, with flat streets and easy to move around. It is quite small and the sights are close to each other, which makes it a lot easier. Good attractions, good restaurants but after 17:00hs she starts to stop. It is worth visiting, especially in September, which is the high season due to spring.
