 The only guide book for BA November 28, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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 I have used them for S America before, but found the one for Argentina out of date and old fashioned.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.

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.

I have used this guide during a short visit in october 2001. I found the information practical, accurate and comprehensive. Even better than other like publications. It does appeal probably more to an urban and hip audience, yet it is far from shallow.

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.
