In this giant metropolis you can purchase almost anything, from antiques to the most modern technology, from casual wear to the leading designer brands, from street fair handicrafts to artistic masterpieces displayed in the most sophisticated galleries in the Americas, from economy cars to dream machines like Ferraris or Porsches, from French escargot to authentic Portuguese olives. São Paulo also offers some of the world’s finest window shopping. During the holiday season, retailers really put on a show, transforming shops and malls into veritable tourist attractions, complete with colourful decorations and cultural activities. With all this to choose from, it’s almost impossible to return home empty handed.
