Local Favorites
The key areas to shop until you drop are Rua Visconde de Pirajá, Ipanema, and Avenida Ataulfo de Paiva, Leblon. Rio also has plenty of good bookstores, many with pleasant cafés. The western suburbs of São Conrado and Barra are good for malls, while Santa Teresa offers a peaceful atmosphere for browsing its galleries and handicraft shops.
Vintage & Flea Markets
Rio is not famous for its markets, but two are worth a visit. Feira Hippie (Hippy Market), Praça General Osório, Ipanema, gathers the best of Brazil’s handicrafts and artwork every Sunday, while Feira Rio Antigo, Rua Lavradio, close to Lapa, offers a wonderful mix of antiques, art and music on the first Saturday of the month.
