About Barra Shopping

Barra Shopping is one of the largest malls in Brazil and has over 600 retail stores. A shopper' s must-see while in Rio and truly worth it. The mall caters to all ages and visitors here are treated to a host of other activities from dining to entertainment. There are 18 cinema screens with bowling and gaming zones in the mall. It is a sprawling retail destination and one can spend hours here and still have more to see. The mall receives millions of visitors each year comprising of locals and tourists. There is also a medical center in Barra Shopping with over 30 specialty clinics. If strolling through malls is among your greatest pleasures then "Barra Shopping" is just perfect for you!. You can find almost anything in its long aisles and just what the doctor ordered for the shopping aficionado. It still retains some Brazilian flavor luckily.
