Muzeul de Artă Modernă

Shopping
Ten minutes by taxi! Just take the taxi in front of my building, and say: Shopping Leblon, que fica na Rua Afranio de Mello Franco... The taxi driver will know where to go.
I must say, as a Brazilian living in Ipanema/Rio, never felt a need to go to a Shopping Center. Ipanema streets have all kinds of stores...clothes stores, sports stores, make up stores, shoes stores, gift stores....There is no need to lock yourself inside a Shopping Center. - Only if you cannot stay with it!
