We stopped in here after bargaining with other street vendors for souveneirs and found everything else we were looking for. There are cool art pieces that are unique to the store and cachaca tastings that the store owner is very knowledgeable about. If only we had more room in our suitcase...

The first jewelry Hazan was opened in 1978 next to the famous Copacabana Palace Hotel. However, the story of passion, love and work began in 1956 when General Gamal Abdel Nasser issued orders to expel all Jews from Egypt. It was a long journey across Europe to the Hazan family to finally get to Rio de Janeiro. After long and hard work, Hazan Unique jewelry boutique maintains the legacy that has lasted four decades.

I couldn’t decide on which mall to go to so someone recommended Barra Shopping. It’s around 30 min away from copacabana, well worth it. We took an Uber there it was very cheap. The mall was a great shopping experience especially if you like to shop. There is a little bit of everything. Prices were great and we found store clerks to be very nice. Great experience in Rio.
