Buenos Aires Travel Guides
Time Out Buenos Aires (Time Out Guides)
By Time Out (Editor)
Time Out travel guides are intended for youngish, sophisticated readers; though
not as well known as other guidebook publishers, they are as good or
sometimes better than the biggies. This Buenos Aires travel guide is a gem, complete with
discussion of the new (well, a few years ago) culinary movements, as well
as great nightlife recommendations and background cultural information.
Lonely Planet Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires, 3rd Edition)
By Lonely Planet
Best selling Lonely Planet guides are popular with younger, budget
travelers. Some of their books are better than others, and unfortunately,
the Buenos Aires guide is not one of their best. If you're a fan of their
edgy style, though, go ahead and get this 3rd edition (watch out for the 2nd,
which reputably has major flaws).
Moon Handbooks Buenos Aires (Moon Handbooks Buenos Aires, 1st Edition)
By Wayne Bernhardson
The books from this little known guidebook company provide more cultural and background information than most. Much space is devoted to discussing cultural issues and interesting tidbits, so if that' your thing, you'll love this Buenos Aires travel guide. The comprehensive practical stuff such as where to stay and eat is there, too and this edition was published in late 2003, making it one of
the most current.
Fodor's Pocket Buenos Aires, 2nd Edition: The All-in-One Guide to the Best of the City Packed with Places to Eat, Sleep, Shop and Explore
By Fodor's
The Fodor's guides target the middle-aged or older crowd who care more about comfort than saving money. They are usually quite nice visually. This guide is a good Buenos Aires travel guide for such an affluent set.
Off the Beaten Shelf
Buenos Aires: El Escenario Urbano (Spanish/English Bilingual Edition)
By Sebastian Letemendia

elements that make up Buenos Aires and the way they came to be. Drawing
on architecture and urban development, he guides us through the Buenos Aires via
chapters such as "Landscapes," and "Containers." Visually and verbally
strong, this photohraphic guide is a good read for armchair or real life travelers.
