for those interested in all shopping malls in rio de janeiro, the associação brasileira de shopping centers makes the list available on this link - on the right we have listed  some of the most popular shopping centers.

a carioca favorite form of shopping is by fairs that happen on a daily and weekly basis and at a designated venue, plaza, or street - from farmer markets, to local arts and crafts, and everyday objects, fairs in rio can vary and are ideal for the shopper at heart, for those looking for a souvenier, or for a day to wander around and see what there is on the market.

the copa market near the beach, the feira hippie on sundays, the street maket in centro called saara, and even the northeastern pavillon of são cristóvão are all unique attractions that should be on one's to-do list.
