8 Reasons Not to Skip Sao Paulo
| January 20, 2016
SP is a luxury shopping extravaganza
In addition to the handicrafts and outdoor markets mentioned above, Sao Paulo is a luxury shopping destination. It is definitely the prime place in all of South America for luxury stores. Luxury doesn’t come at a small price, though, especially with Brazilian taxes, and Sao Paulo shopping definitely isn’t for the small pocketed.
It holds a few malls, but the most famous shopping destination within the city is Rua Oscar Freire. Compared by many Brazilians to New York City, the tree lined street is full to bursting of luxury shops, including Armani, Louis Vitton, and many more. Even local designers get in on the action, and you can find one-of-a-kind designs that wouldn’t be anywhere else in the world.
