Shopping in Sao Paulo
Sao Paulo has everything from imported goods to local Brazilian items. The currency in Brazil is the Real (BRL). “Shoppings” is the term Brazilianz use for shopping malls, so you will hear it a lot. There are quite a few shoppings here with designer labels and goods. They can be expensive though due to the shipping costs. There are many local products that are just as nice and are actually native to the country so you can’t get them anywhere else. Students on budgets will appreciate the jewelry, clothing, accessories, and souvenirs here. Although Sao Paulo has the reputation of being the most expensive city in the area, it is still pretty affordable in terms of these goods, and compared to America and Europe it is not bad at all. Street vendors are open until around 6pm each day, however shopping centers may stay open as late as 10 pm. blog comments powered by Disqus
