Due to the very hot and dry weather during most part of the year, walking is not one of the preferred Brasilienses (those who were born or live here) hobbies. Instead, on leisure time, they prefer to go shopping, or to some of the many bars and cafes in town. For shopping, the main areas are just past the North Hotel Sector, at Brasilia Shopping, where you will find a large number of movie theaters, trendy clothing boutiques, an excellent food court with a number of good and inexpensive restaurants.

A more traditional shopping, Conjunto Nacional was the first mall in Brasilia. It is located downtown, right across Nacional Theatre, and Brasilia Central Bus Station. Alternative good shopping areas are Park Shopping, Patio Brasil and Liberty Mall.
