Proceed to Casa da Cultura, a former prison until 1973 that is now converted into a handcraft market, where the cells have been turned into shops that display the best artisans workmanship. Spend about 40 minutes shopping, searching for local gifts and typical mementos to bring back home with you.
Next, travel towards Olinda, the old capital perched on hills only 4 miles north of Recife. Olinda has been preserved by UNESCO as a Historical and Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and the town boasts impressive scenic views and dozens of century-old churches amid colonial houses. Travel uphill to admire the landscape and feel the grandeur of this city's rich historic past, and take a short stroll to see artisans at work or purchase some of their items on display.
