In the heart of the Shopping Leblon mall, the bulging shelves of Livraria da Travessa are an excellent place to pass some time and peruse the literary and musical acreage on offer. One of the biggest selections of national and international magazines you will find in town, English-language books and classic Brazilian albums and films are all on offer, and the café overlooking the shop floor is a great place to contemplate your next purchase. There are three stand-alone outlets in Centro, too, as well as a boutique-sized, art-centric version in the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil.
