This guide to Buenos Aires covers all the major sights, area by area, in an easily navigable format. Descriptions of tourist attractions include the Plaza de Mayo, Teatro Colon, the old port of La Boca and elegant cafes of Retiro and Recoleta. The guide also contains background historical information, advice on shopping and entertainment and the low-down on Argentine cuisine. There is an A-Z of practical information, listings of recommended hotels and restaurants and useful expressions in Spanish. The book also contains special features on topics ranging from the art of serving and drinking "mate" (that's Argentine green tea) to speaking like a porteno. Maps show central Buenos Aires and excursions, and there are dozens of colour photographs throughout.

Berlitz Brevity Is Of Little Value,
By
This review is from: Buenos Aires Pocket Guide (Paperback)
In the last year I have traveled to Buenos Aires four times, as I have become enchanted by this wonderful city (not to mention the favorable exchange rate from which Americans have benefitted). In that time I have purchased some 15-20 books about Buenos Aires and Argentina, including travel guides, historical accounts, etc. Probably the least valuable is this Berlitz book on Buenos Aires. This book MIGHT be of negligible value if you were spending no more than 24 hours in this fascinating city, but I would recommend many others (especially Time Out Buenos Aires) before this Pocket Guide. This Berlitz quick study doesn't provide nearly the depth one needs to discover the fascinating, rich, tumultuous city that is Buenos Aires. Sorry, Berlitz!
