Arts and crafts Recife

Every Sunday, Bom Jesus Street closes and the stalls of crafts, paintings and antiques are set up. On Saturdays the Feira Solidária de Artesanato takes place in the same square, from 9am to 7pm. The Bom Jesus Street is also one of the most charming streets in Recife. Here you can admire a bit of the past and recovered splendour of the old Pernambuco, while tasting typical dishes. It's worth stopping by, discovering a bit of the culture and taking home a souvenir. The revitalization of the center is through these events.

One comes to the Mercado São José to immerse oneself in the atmosphere of the popular Recife and to admire its French market architecture. More than 500 merchants have their stalls in this beautiful building inaugurated in 1875 and many more in the surroundings. Handicrafts, typical products, food, medicinal herbs, religious objects... the variety is enormous! Probably the best place to buy souvenirs and meet the locals. It is a popular place, so stay discreet, no ostentation, no big bags, no jewels.
