Rio De Janeiro

The bustling city of Rio de Janeiro is teeming with rich culture and heritage. Located in the South-Eastern part of the tropical zone of South America, the capital of Brazil is predominantly recognised for its year-round pleasant climate, pristine beaches, historical museums, rich sounds of Samba and a booming nightlife. As the city prepares for the 2016 Summer Olympics, all eyes are set on Rio as it takes centre stage. The local shopping scene in Rio is no different. Grab your best bikini and tour the streets – best by bike – through shopping precincts like Ipanema for bursts of exclusive swimwear and streetwear labels, Leblon for the best upmarket local labels, and various markets like the Feira Hippie de Ipanema and Feira de Copacabana for a mix of art, jewellery, furniture and hammocks.
