Shopping

A walk around Pelourinho will give you your fill of tacky souvenirs shops mixed in with ateliers filled with interesting artwork. If you are in to music this is definitely the place to check out local artists and buy their CDs. For the latest in Bahian sound and great ideas for where to see live music, stop in to see Randy at the Bahia Online Music store (Rua Joâo de Deus, 22, Pelourinho; (71) 3321-0536). Randy features the best of local artists who have not yet been discovered by the big record labels.

If you are looking for a shopping mall head down to Barra to the Shopping Barra Mall; Av. Centenario 2992; open Mon - Fri 10am-10pm; Saturday 9am - 8pm.

For a full-fledged day of entertainment head to the Aeroclube Plaza Show (near the airport, all taxis will know it or take the Itapua bus). Here you will be able to shop, play minigolf, and bowl, amongst other activities.

Businesses in Salvador are typically open from 8:00am - 6:00pm (some businesses close for lunch). Banks are open from 10:00am - 4:00pm.
