I have to admit...my shopping goals in São Paulo were basically heels and Havaianas. And Boavista…read moredid not disappoint! Boavista is a multi-story indoor shopping mall that has a variety of stores. I wasn't familiar with most of the stores there, but there was a Havaianas store (perfect!) as well as a number of shoe stores. Additionally, there were jewelry stores, regular clothing stores, and food options. There was a swimsuit store in Boavista, but it was junk because they didn't let you try on anything.
What I thought was really cool about Boavista was that they have rides for little kiddys as well as a supervised play area for them as well! I know when I was little and my mom would drag me to the mall I would be extremely bored, so this seems like a great option for both kids and parents alike.
Parking was paid in the garage attached to the mall, but was not crowded at all on a Wednesday afternoon. Happy shopping!
TL;DR - children's play area, paid parking, and lots of shoe stores!
