  Sprawling and strange, magical and melancholy, continually veering between triumph and disaster, Buenos Aires is an alluring city. Written entirely by residents, Time Out Buenos Aires casts an independent and critical eye on the places, people and culture that have made this metropolis great and the contemporary trends that are conspiring to make it greater still. Looking past the 'Paris of South America' cliches, we make sense of the confusing jumble of influences that is Buenos Aires' trademark: its century-old cafes and world-famous steak houses; its word-of-mouth bars and backstreet bistros; its late-night tango salons and cutting edge all-night clubs; its prestigious cultural landmarks and improvised warehouse galleries; and the comforts of tradition rubbing up against the shock of the new. Honest, detailed and informative, Time Out Buenos Aires is the perfect companion for the modern traveller.

  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.
