Brazil
The place to go for a famously small Brazilian bikini. This shopping center in the heart of Copacabana, which is known by its address, offers eight floors of fashion, especially beach wear. Prices are often cheaper than elsewhere. Don't be deceived by its unassuming entrance, which can be easily missed, and take one of the elevators to bikini heaven.
Rua Santa Clara 33, Copacabana
Rio's 'Covent Garden'. A shopping mall but on an intimate scale without any chain stores. Not very far from Leblon. Also has several theatres with Sat/Sun afternoon programmes for children and a playcentre. If you have small children, you can buy excellent cheap clothes at Bebe Basico on the ground floor. The owners also have a nice educational toy shop on the 2nd floor (Enfim Enfant) which sells hand-made toys and brilliant towelling cushions shaped like elephants and hippopotamuses.
