Shopping in Rio ranges from enormous air-conditioned malls to street markets and specialist shops. The Feira Hippie at Praca General Osorio in Ipanema runs every Sunday and is the best place to find handicrafts, art and souvenirs. Pe de Boi in Laranjeiras stocks high-quality Brazilian folk art and crafts. Brasil & Cia in Ipanema specialises in Brazilian-made gifts, from hammocks to cachaça.
For music lovers, Modern Sound on Rua Barata Ribeiro in Copacabana is an institution -- a large music store with a cafe and regular live performances. For mall shopping, BarraShopping in Barra da Tijuca is one of the largest in South America, while Shopping da Gavea is smaller but more curated.
