Rio Sul

  • January 3, 2007
  • Rated 4 of 5 by travellingdave from Calgary, Alberta
Rio Sul

Rio Sul is Rio de Janeiro's premier shopping mall, located a short taxi ride north of Copacabana in the community of Botafogo. This trendy mall has everything you'd ever want, from high-class fashion to optical/sunglasses merchants to electronics superstores. Brazil's economy is red-hot, and no shortage of variety or merchandise is here.

The mall is quite large, and takes a map to get around. Ask at the information desks. Information officers wear red shirts and speak fluent English. They came in very handy when I lost my glasses and blindly wandered the mall in search of an optometrist.

The food court is reasonable and offers food choices from Brazil, fast food, and some high class restaurants. The mall is fully handicapped-accessible, and has ample parking for every type of vehicle.

Ask at the information desk for a coupon book.

Rio Sul Shopping Centre

  • October 24, 2002
  • Rated 3 of 5 by jala from Chorley, United Kingdom
It's a 4 floor shopping centre, and the price range seems to rise with the escalators!

My favourite store would have to be Renner, and it's on the 1st/2nd floor. It's a department store with a lot of choice; clothes, home stuff etc. The prices are very good, and the quality is even better.

Another good one is Mundo Verde on the 1st floor, an alternative health/spiritual type of store. It has all the usual items; candles, insense, gems, but also has a few select pieces by what I think was a local artist. And they'll gift wrap for you too.

After all that walking you'll be glad to find the 3rd floor with the reataurants/bars. Pizzas, Italian, Mexican etc.

Guapo loco, the food here at the Mexican restaurant is delicious, and very quick at serving too. No sooner had I ordered that my food had arrived! Well priced too. Shopping centres are great, because no matter where you are in the world, it somehow feels like home.

Rio Sul Shopping Mall

  • November 30, 2000
  • Rated 4 of 5 by paris from San Francisco, California
The mall has over 400 shops and restaurants. This is an ultra modern mall with many escalators and a large variety of food (Chinese, French, Italian, Fast Food, etc.) Near most of the escalator entrances, there were deomstrations of new technology, perfumes and products. The malls close at 10pm (most days of the week). The mall is very popular and filled with a variety of people. One of the busiest stores was the C&A store which offered a variety of inexpensive items. Free buses are usually available from Copacabana Beach area. The large eating areas provide huge video screens featuring American/Brazilian shows.
