set in the center of ipanema is praça da paz, a square where fresh food and flower markets liven up the area every week, right across from the famous igreja nossa senhora da paz, a beautiful white church.

at the nearby praça general osario, every sunday from 7am to 7pm without exception since 1968, and self-described as the largest open-air art and artisan gallery in the world, the feira hippie de ipanema is a popular event for visitors and local alike.

among the wide range of stands that populate this little square, visitors will find a large selection of artisan works, items for the home, and a handful of trinkets that are often handmade and one of a kind, including a number of paintings depicting daily life in rio de janeiro and throughout the rest of the country.
