Series: EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE
Paperback: 128 pages
Publisher: DK Travel; Pap/Map Re edition (August 19, 2013)
This is a fantastic small guide that does not take up to much space on the go. I loved the pull-out map. We spent a week in Buenos Aires and tried a lot of the "top 10" suggestions - they were great and not necessarily tourist hot spots. A lot of restaurants, bars, cafe's and the Tangueria El Beso seemed very authentic and we felt surrounded by locals rather than tourists. I was skeptical, because I am not a huge fan of top 10 lists, but this guide is extremely well done. I highly recommend it. It was published in 2009 and the information seemed current except for restaurant "Resto" on Montevideo, which even our taxi driver could not find. Everything else was easy to find thanks to the great maps provided.

This is a great little pocket book that one can take on trips in and around Burnos Aires. It is well written, contains a ton of information, easy to carry and very nice pictures. We could not have done without this guide when we recently visited Buenos Aires.Several city street maps make getting around town and locating attractions easy.

You can depend on Eyewitness Travel Guide books to give you the information you need when traveling in distant lands. The book is compact yet through. We bought the Buesnos Aires and Rio de Janiero versions for a recent trip and were thankful we did.

I've been a big fan of the DK Eyewitness Top 10 series for years. They're a great series of books that fit into a cargo pants pocket, are bright and colorful and provide excellent maps and lists to help you maximize your time in any given location. I have both the paperback version and bought the Kindle version on a whim to see if this might be the wave of the future.
Sadly, it's not quite there yet.
The same information is there - the very same helpful information that I rely on, but it lacks the well-formatted version that I'm used to in the book. The maps are the same, but I didn't like tapping back and forth.
It's not to say that this book is bad - it just lacks the appeal of the paperback copy of the Top 10 BA guide. The few dollar price difference makes it a no-brainer to stick with the tried and true version of the DK Top 10 paperbacks.

When I was in BA, this book was the most helpful! Too bad Rick Steves only writes about Europe, but if you go to a country that Rick Steves does not write about, get this book! So glad I bought it!!!
Happy Travels!

My husband and I travel a lot and we always like to make research before the trip but also take a guide book along. We have a long list of top 10 books from this company and enjoyed them every single time. They really list the top 10 " must sees", without all the fuss; it is small, light to take along yet still a book compact and full with useful information.

Well, I got this book in plenty of time, but after studying it, I decided to leave it behind. I've been to Buenos Aires now, I've returned home, and I pulled this book out again to see if, having been there, it made more sense. Unfortunately, it doesn't, really. It's about the organization more than anything. Top 10 WHAT? is a question I still can't answer. I don't know why they called it Top 10. A lot of info in there, though. Just poorly organized, in my opinion.
