A small shopping “town” to spend the whole afternoon at. Start with shops, continue with dinner at a local restaurant and finish with movies. Not an option on Sunday – most of the places are closed. For shopping fans, there 2 other centers nearby – Cittá America and Shopping Conviva Américas.
This shopping village at the beginning of Barra is my favorite. Not because of the best shops around, but for its ambient. It is a city of its own, with cozy streets, palm trees, artificial ponds, restaurants, cinema, shops, cafes. And the best thing is that it´s not crowded like all the other shopping venues in Rio.
It is big shopping and business complex, which is like a small village with a creek running through it. It has everything from clothing shops, medical centre, training facilities, banks, restaurants to a cinema. Its a nice and cosy place to visit for a more relaxed shopping experience. The central square quite often hosts different events and bands. Events schedule can be found from their website.
