Zara is always reliable, however the sizes are different in other countries. It seems that people…read moreare thinner in Brazil than in North America. A big dissapointment if you a little overweight. I like the clothers, though. The fabrics are bad, but because I find difficult to shop for clothers that are my style, Zara at least have a variety of different syles and prices.

Yelp Review 2025 #202:…read more A mall in Leblon that has beloved Brazilian brands and international brands as well. I didn't come here to shop per se but to get something specific. But walking around this mall was a fun time. It wasn't super crowded despite being a holiday. This mall has it all. Coffee shops, bars, restaurants at different price points, chocolate shops, clothing stores, açaí, toy stores, etc. It has a cinema. It's clean, spacious and well-organized. It was easy for me to find what I was looking for despite being distracted by all the different stores. If you're tired of being out in the sun on the beach, this is a nice little break. Nearby, you'll find more restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Store employees don't speak much English but with translation apps, you'll be fine.

This is a very cool and contemporary shopping center in Rio. If you're staying at the Sheraton…read morehotel, they offer a complimentary shuttle nearly hourly throughout the day to this shopping center. The center is quite large and spread across several floors. The layout is a little weird with branching side corridors that make it potentially possible to get a bit turned around. Also, I could not find a single store directory or map in the entire place! There is a mix of stores you might never heard of if you're from the U.S. along with some familiar names. My favorite is the L'Occitane au Bresil store which features skincare products made in Brazil with Brazilian ingredients. Some of the staff in the various stores spoke some English and others not. Knowing a few Portuguese phrases will serve you well. I was disappointed that there was no store selling souvenirs for those who might want to pick up something for friends or family back home. On the top floor is a large selection of various restaurants to suit nearly any taste. Definitely give this center a visit if you want to shop in Rio!
