Frommer's Review

It may be spelled "hype," but it's pronounced "hippie," as in long hair, groovy, cool, man. Located in the Jockey Club, the Babilônia Hippy Fair is an arts-and-crafts market and more. You can listen to music, get a shiatsu massage, design a henna tattoo, buy a nose ring, or get yourself pierced. Tip: The market makes a great stop after touring the nearby Botanical Gardens. Open every other Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 10pm; check the newspaper or phone ahead.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
