It was ok... But same as the Central Market, same as the Night market. All sell very similar goods. But nice enough for a quick visit OR if you are looking for something in particular.

Amazing! And beautiful handmade everything stuff possible! Support the local and buy there! The lace is one of the most famous in the world. It take hours and days to be finished by local lady. The price is a bit salty, but is something you are going to have forever

We walked over to the Centro de Turismo do Ceará after wandering through the few floors of Mercado Central. While the grounds and architecture of the former prison were mildly interesting, I guess I was expecting more craftsmanship or local flavor to the shops in the state tourism center. Instead, it was basically the same kinds of things on sale down the street at the market. But with less selection. Sadly the prison museum did not seem to be open while we were visiting, despite it being a peak tourism season.Go if the architecture and history interest you, but if you're interested in shopping for local products, stick to Mercado Central.

We were taken to the Centro de Turismo do Ceara for our shopping stop. The place had variety of shops and tried to sell different merchandise for tourist. Much to our surprise, there were limitation of Brazilian products that attract the attention of visitors. However toward the very end of the shopping complex, my wife found a white dress she was looking for and it fitted her nicely. Well, at least we made our purchase to help the domestic economy.

Go there, park inside the place, and walk around to buy some handcrafts, cashew nuts and tipical clothing from this part of the country.

All to attract the shopper's. You have all you are looking for. Nice clothes, a lot of white with lace an embroidery. All small individual shops. On the same spot you will find the tourist office (closed on lunch hours)

If you are going to tour downtown Fortaleza you should make a stop here. There isn't that much to see, but it is pretty and there are some shops worth checking out.

The concept that this place was a prison and now is a tourist destination is interesting, and it is free so the price is right. However, there isn't much to see. The shops are similar to what you'd find elsewhere in the city. If you are in the area, check it out, but don't go out of your way to see it.

In the old city jail, in downtown area, now there is a cultural and commercials center of Fortaleza. Like Mercado Central, on the products, the area holds a variety of stores where once were the prisoners cells. In the center of the area, on the bottom floor there are many shops with people showing how the handcrafts products are made, and on the upper floor, there is a museum showing artifacts of old Fortaleza. If you are on the vicinity of Mercado Central, you may want to take a look at this area too.

Local muito bacana que oferece produtos do artesanato local. Melhor do que aquela zoeira do mercado central, que é muvucado, com vendedores que ficam o tempo todo te abordando, insistentemente.

Como todo lugar que vende artesanato para turista, tudo era mais caro que nos outros lugares e eles são insistentes, na maioria, mas tem muita coisa, uns 3 andares acessível para cadeira de rodas.

Visitei vários locais como o mercado central e CEART e feirinha e este local apresentou as catanhas mais bem apresentadas e com melhor preço. A disposição das lojas também proporciona uma boa experienciapara comprar.

Pontos positivos são: preço e qualidade, pontos negativos: estrutura medíocre, poderia melhorar, mas no total mas pontos positivos com muitas peças de rendas e seguro tem segurança privada e policiais militares, gostei.

É outra opção para quem busca artesanatos, lembrancinhas. Fica proximo ao passeio publico, a catedral e ao mercado central. Da pra visitar tudo num so dia. Oferece variedade de artesanatos tambem. Aconselho antes de passar no mercado central ir ate lá. Algumas coisas tem preço bom e acessivel.
