2. Check Out the RioMar Recife Mall
Because this mall is so large, it is easy to become lost. There are several stores ranging from budget to high-end boutiques. The food court on the upper level is spacious and includes a play area for children. Moreover security is always present, and the facility is kept immaculate. Taxi pickup and drop-off can take some time because they share the same lane as the parking deck. Nevertheless, there is a valet service.

3. Admire the Works in Oficina Ceramica Francisco Brennand
The Francisco Brennand Workshop/Museum (FB) is located approximately 40 minutes by vehicle west of Recife, in a natural woody tropical region. You get there from the main highway by a meandering, unpaved route. A slow journey allows guests to enjoy the tranquil surroundings and view multi-colored birds fluttering around. With the occasional spider slithering around the side of the road. The FB workshop and ceramics business emerged in 1971 from the rubble of FB’s father’s old brick mill.
Today, visitors may see around 3200 works of art, including sculptures, pottery, vases, mosaics of various sizes. Additionally there are a limited number of paintings and black and white drawings dating from 1949 to 2014. Four distinct structures house the works, spread across the park and outside.
