Shopping
Much fancier than the Botafogo Praia Shopping. One of the most elegant malls in town and the most 'carioca' of them all without a doubt.

Parks & Nature
Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro
1008 R. Jardim BotânicoForget Copacabana beach if you want to swim. Leme is the continuation of Copacabana (so all kinda the same) but in the other extreme of the beach. Less people, cleaner water and the same view and environment - from those beaches close from home, Leme is my favourite.
