Shopping in Salvador

There is no end to shopping in Salvador and the experience is extraordinary. Art and crafts abound. Shoppers will find sculptures, paintings, precious and semiprecious stones, ceramics, clothes and other knick knacks in the main market and the historic districts. While t-shirts and the standard mementos are inexpensive (you can buy a tee for less than 5 US dollars), the handicrafts are over-priced in comparison with other Brazilian cities. A favourite with tourists are the hand painted hammocks which you can get for less than 15 US dollars.

Salvador can be a good place to perfect the art of haggling and get good discounts on the excellent local arts and crafts.
