Holambra, the city of flowers, is a little piece of Holland in Brazil. And one of the most<br />
remarkable features one can see in the city is its flower fields. Holambra has several producers<br />
of ornamental flowers of varied types and is the right destination for those who are interested<br />
in buying them or admiring them. Do not miss one of the tours offered by their local touristic<br />
agency and visit the fields of flower production. Also take the chance to go on a city tour<br />
around and treasure the Dutch-style buildings.<br />

What to do?<br />
In the city of flowers, as Holambra is known, the best option is buying ornamental<br />
flowers. The best time to buy them is during Expoflora, the largest event in town, which<br />
takes place annually in September. The visitor can also take tours on the farms which<br />
produce the most different varieties of ornamental flowers and get to know more<br />
about the Dutch immigration in Holambra through its city tours (for more information<br />
Theos Turismo – Phone (19) 3802-4675). The history of the city is closely related to the<br />
immigration of the Dutch who were refugees from the Second World War. The results of<br />
such heritage can be seen in the local architecture, typical festivals, and, of course, great<br />
tradition in the flower production. It is important to highlight that flowers and plants are<br />
sold throughout the year. Expoflora is the best opportunity to see a flower expo – not<br />
necessarily to buy them.
