This is the book to take with you if visiting Buenos Aires for the first or fifty-first time. It provides a wide ranging review of everything from history, sights, accommodation, shops, clubs, bars and events within an easy to read, excellently illustrated (superb photographs) volume which is small enough to carry around with you. The side-bars provide fascinating insights into aspects of Argentinian culture, politics, football, tango and history, which are rarely covered in 'mainstream' travel guides in such depth. This new updated version of the book is excellently written and edited and also offers reviews of places outside the city prioper that are worth visiting: the coutnryside and neighbouring Uruguay included. As the introduction says, Buenos Aires is a city that is constantly reinventing itself, and to fully appreciate it you need an up-to-date guidebook. Go out and buy this one - even if you are not planning to visit Buenos Aires, this book will tempt you to change your mind!

A very appropriate guide for a very happening city!

The Time Out series is really appropriate for certain destinations, and Buenos Aires is definitely one of them - why? Because T.O. keeps the sightseeing & history to a compact section. They focus on the real charm of BA - its lifestyle - food, wine, tango, an obscenely and wonderfully late club culture, futbol and so forth. I was really pleased with the recommendations (I never use these guides for hotels anyhow). The book is colorful, the maps & practical information are decent, and most of all its a travel guide that isn't completely "dry", but fairly witty and engaging. All in all for a city like BA, the Time Out series is exactly what you'll need to have a great time. - one point for the fact that they sell advertising throughout the guide. I just don't accept that in a book I am buying!

Your average, run-of-the-mill guide...

The first Time Out guide I purchased, I actually ended up in places that did not have droves of folks in their 50s waving Lonely Planet guides around, looking as if it was their first time outside their home country. Truly, I don't mean to belittle them... in fact, I admire anyone who steps out of their comfort zone. BUT the point of buying this seemingly edgy, trendy guide was to go off the beaten track, given there are always going to be sights/clubs/things in cities world wide that are universal, and (if one lives in a large enough city) one does not need to travel out of your own city to experience them; the whole point was to find out what makes the new city just that much quirkier or different than your own. Sadly, this book did not accomplish that. The restaurant recommendations were bleh 80% of the time, shopping recommendations were clearly skewed towards boutiques that seemed to have the money to advertise with them (and fairly stodgy stuff as well), and there were no great insights provided that one could not gather from any other guide, or from reading a few travelers' blogs. Buy it if you don't like to leave home without a guide, but don't kid yourself that it's better than the others out there.
