Daslu
Don’t plan on walking to Daslu. It’s against the rules to arrive on foot at São Paulo’s most over-the-top shopping emporium. A taxi is one option, though a much chicer option is to arrive by chopper at the rooftop heliport. The store itself looks like an all-white Roman villa on steroids, and over its three floors you can find every top designer, from Gucci to Tumi. Servants in black-and-white uniforms dole out free espresso, biscotti and sparkling water at bars spread throughout the store. Still hungry? There’s a tearoom, a sushi bar and a more formal dining room. Daslu even has its own harem – a sprawling series of lounges and changing rooms where mirrors are ubiquito…

Casa da Cultura
This place is a creepy colonial-era prison with shops in cells where prisoners languished until 1973 (cell 106 is preserved as it was). Pernambuco’s traditional handicrafts, such as clay figurines, wood sculptures, lace and leather goods, plus plenty of T-shirts, can be found here.

Paço Alfândega
Converted into a glitzy shopping mall, this 19th-century customs house is worth a pop in for a cafezinho (small coffee). It is located on Recife Antigo’s southern waterfront.

Has the largest concentration of restaurants, bars and nightclubs but very few actual stores. Very popular with the young and well-off.

All amenities, including cinemas and restaurants in a weird building that looks like half a soda can (from some angles at least!).

Galeria Melissa
This temple to high-end footwear is worth checking out for its bold design - but don't expect bargains.
