  The Berlitz Buenos Aires Pocket Guide 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.
