below we list some of the fairs one can visit on a saturday, or sabado in portuguese - for a complete listing, please visit rio de janeiro's city hall website at prefeitura da cidade do rio de janeiro.

in the southern zone of rio, there are feira livres on rua paulo barreto of botafogo, on rua frei leandro of jardim botânico, on rua profesor ortiz monteiro of laranjeiras. - if one is near zona norte, perhaps the market found on rua mendes tavares in vila isabel is a better choice.

in the central zone of rio, in the neighborhood of centro, commonly known as the downtown area, there is a fair spread between two streets - held on both rua tadeu kosciusko and rua carlos sampaio, near lapa.
