Best Shopping in Rio de Janeiro
Market in Rio de Janeiro
The best shopping in Rio de Janeiro can be found throughout the city center. From open-air markets to luxury goods stores, from international labels to local Brazilian designers, Rio has it all.
A good place to start your shopping trip in Rio is Ipanema. The neighborhood is famous for its boutiques, small shopping centers, luxury stores, and local fashion. Don’t miss Louis Vuitton, Rio-inspired Gilson Martins with its iconic images of Rio de Janeiro on everything from bags to wallets, and the shoe store Mr Cat.
On Saturdays Ipanema is also home to the Hippie Fair, a market that offers jewlery, art, and clothing. Browsing the wares is a great way to spend a weekend afternoon while you are visiting Brazil.
Speaking of markets, some of the best souvenir shopping in Rio de Janeiro can be done at the market along Copacabana Beach. Everything from miniature statues of Christ the Redeemer to colorful sarongs and flip flops can be found there.
Additionally, on Saturdays there is an antique market in Praca Quinze in the city centre. That’s to say nothing of the Feira Hype, which moves around the city and offers trendy clothing for fashionistas.
More of the best shopping in Rio de Janeiro can be found in Leblon, on the streets around Copacabana, and at smaller shops throughout the city. Brazil is known for everything from bikinis to gemstones, so don’t go home without some swimwear and jewelry.
