Shopping in Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo is the hottest trading mecca in Latin America. In São Paulo operate 79 large shopping centers, including such luxurious malls as Cidade Jardim and Iguatemi.

The main trading artery is Oscar Freire Street in Jardins (like Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles and Madison Avenue in New York), filled with international boutiques like Tiffany & Co, Louis Vuitton, Versace, etc. The street also has the stores of Brazilian famous designer brands Havaianas, Schutz, Osklen and Carlos Miele.
