The famous neighborhoods of the Pelourinho and Rio Vermelho are home to a large selection of stores with traditional Brazilian crafts.
Salvador de Bahia is divided into several commercial areas that, while offering items of every kind, invite you to learn about the history and culture of this wonderful region of the country. Start in the old neighborhood of Pelourinho, where you can find traditional crafts, such as embroidery or pottery figures. Pass through the emblematic Mercado Modelo, with its hundreds of stands with fresh products and its popular restaurants with views of Bay of All Saints. Finally, visit the charming retro spots in the bohemian neighborhood of Rio Vermelho. In Salvador de Bahia you will find that special souvenir to remember your vacation in Brazil.
Old City
The colorful streets of the Pelourinho, the old neighborhood of Salvador de Bahia, along with majestic colonial buildings, are filled with stores displaying handicrafts made in Bahia, as well as souvenir shops. The craftwork of Bahia is a faithful reflection of art arising between two continents, a rich manifestation of ethnic diversity. Among the most valued items produced locally are the embroidery, ceramics (pitchers, vases, decoration objects), braided baskets and ceramic figures that portray deities or Brazilian women in everyday environments.
Modelo Market
El Mercado Modelo is one of the places that must be on the itinerary of any traveler visiting Bahia. This neoclassical building, constructed in the 19th century as a supply center, today houses more than two hundred businesses including restaurants, bars, craft shops and areas where you can see capoeira groups practice. At its stores you can purchase anything from religious items to percussion instruments like the berimbau, pandeiro or agogô.
Instituto de Artesanato Visconde de Mauá
This public entity was created in 1939 to promote crafts from the region of Bahia. It is the ideal place to acquire high-quality decorative objects such as lace linens, hammocks, cushions, ceramics and engraved glass. It also has workshops where you can see how the artisans work with the different materials to create their pieces.
Feira de São Joaquim
In the Cidade Baixa, between Bay of All Saints and Oscar Pontes Avenue stretches this enormous bazaar where you can find all kinds of items and local products: spices, medicinal herbs, fresh fruit, animals, crafts, baskets, straw bags, religious items, and stands with delicious Bahia food. Open seven days a week, a visit to the Feira de São Joaquim is the best way to dive into the culture of this exotic city. The restaurants in the new area also have spectacular views of Bay of All Saints.
Rio Vermelho
This charming bohemian neighborhood in Salvador de Bahia has a good selection of vintage stores, as well as high-quality clothing and shoe boutiques. The best way to enjoy it is by walking down its streets and soaking in the boho style of its window displays, bookstores and art galleries. In this area of the city, you can find original and different souvenirs of your time in Brazil.
Beach markets
If what you’re looking for are popular souvenirs to give to your loved ones, you don’t have to bother to travel to shopping centers or the central neighborhoods of the city. Along the coast, on the promenades and on the beach itself, there are street vendors with traditional beads, bikinis, sandals and bargains for every taste. There are also usually stands with crafts and items unique to this region of Brazil.
