Where to Eat and Shop

Note: Regular meals aren’t included in the ICSM 2026 registration fee. But don’t worry, during registration you’ll have the option to add lunch at one of the hotel’s restaurants:

Lunch costs R$ 136.00 (around US$ 25.00) and includes water plus a juice or soft drink.

If you prefer not to choose this option, no problem! There are plenty of places to grab a bite near the Convention Centre with affordable prices! Below are a few suggestions to help you explore the area:
