SãoPaulo’s shopping scene is exploding, with a couple of white-hot neighborhoods leading the charge. Vila Madalena is home to trendy design, clothing and furniture stores. For upscale shopping, Jardins Street is the place to go, with a number of international and Brazilian brands. Should one wish to escape the heat, Iguatemi, the oldest mall in Brazil, provides a respite.
