Product Description

Buenos Aires, the cultural highlight on many trips to South America, is changing like never before. Every week new boutique hotels, restaurants, secret bars, art galleries and designer shops open in a blur of champagne and cocktails. The terraces of football stadiums heave with passionate fanatics of world-class teams such as Boca Juniors, while in the dimly lit halls of the city's old quarter, couples, in sensual embrace, dance the tango. Visitors to this city can participate in every aspect of Buenos Aires. It is a thrilling place, full of the unexpected, and occasionally bewildering. And over the last eight years, "Time Out Buenos Aires" has become a favourite for visitors looking for the most up-to-date information, the latest cultural trends and insightful investigations written by journalists who live this city everyday.

Well done Time Out...
What an excellent book. I have a couple of other guides to BA, and didn't need another, but I'm pleased I bought it. This is superbly researched, and really is the most useful guide to BA you could hope for. Historical and contextual information is lively and interesting (great stuff on tango, football and nightlife); information about the city's different districts ('barrios') has been equally well put together. There's plenty of depth, but the punchy, witty style makes this a highly engaging read. All the practical information you need is here, and the good choice of photographs finishes the book off to good effect. Time Out have done a great job all round - make this your choice for any trip to BA.

The only guide you need...funky and precise to the last
I live in BsAs and have travelled to over 20 countries. This guide puts all others to Buenos Aires into a shamefull grave. The best.

The only guide book for BA
Just back from a trip to B Aires where I had available the Footprint guide for Argentina, the Wallpaper guide and the Time Out guide. The Time Out guide proved to be easily the best. The Wallpaper is extremely superficial, but great if you are into design and all things 'trendy'. The Footprint was extremely disappointing. I have used them for S America before, but found the one for Argentina out of date and old fashioned. If you are young (or young at heart), go for the Time Out guide.
