  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.

  Argentina's economic crisis thrust Buenos Aires into the glare of the world media in the last 18 months. But the ever-resilient port city has risen to the challenges of the new situation, relying on the creativity of its inhabitants to reinvent itself once again. The devalued peso has contributed to a huge influx of tourists, who find the city thriving against the odds: bars and boutiques continue to spring up, major new museums have been added to the city's cultural offering, a huge range of original tourist services have become available and the range of hotel accommodation has diversified hugely. Time Out's resident journalists uncover the latest developments (as well as the old favourites) in this vibrant and seductive city - and talk to the novelists, psychologists, politicians, actors and artists that make the city tick. From the charm of the city's oldest barrios to the modern dockside developments, the guide uncovers the very best of daytime and nighttime activities. Beyond the city limits, the Time Out team reveal where to go to chill out - from ranches on the pampas to resorts on the Atlantic Coast and across the River Plate to Uruguay.
