Argentina (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE) Review
Considering this is ONE guide for an entire huge country, it serves more as either an introductory guide before you go, or on a multi-city trip where you are not spending more than two days anywhere. If your stay is longer in any one spot, you need to compliment this with additional detailed local guides or you'll wish you had more. But again, for its purpose as an overall Argentina guide, it is excellent. The Eyewitness guides are the best when it comes to presenting a destination in its totality: history, culture, etc in addition to sites.
Argentina (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE) Overview
Whether you are planning to visit a city, a region or a country, DK's foolproof 'Eyewitness' approach makes learning about a place a pleasure in itself. All the traditional guidebook subject matter is covered-descriptions of sights, opening times, hotels, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, phrase books etc- but, with the help of specially commissioned illustrations and maps, DK makes essential information easy to access and quick to absorb. No other guides explain the history of a place as clearly in words and pictures. DK Eyewitness Travel Guides-the best guides ever created.
Argentina's vibrant, wonderfully idiosyncratic capital, Buenos Aires, is the third largest city in Latin America, yet it is a resolutely human kind of place. Famous for its tango, football and European-style architecture, it also holds hidden gems, including picturesque cobbled neighborhoods, sophisticated shopping and some of the best and most varied cuisine in the whole continent. Cinemas and art galleries, jazz clubs and theatres, atmospheric cafés and antiques markets abound, while exercising or just lazing around in beautifully landscaped parks filled with subtropical vegetation are part of the dynamic yet laid-back porteño lifestyle.

The Eyewitness Travel Guides are the best guides available. The information is dependable, the pictures and details beautiful, and the choice of information is perfect for most travelers. The only downside is the weight while you're traveling. I've seen professional tour guides, native to the county in question, use these!
I love DK travel guides. - bbrech - Wellington, KS United States
DK travel guides are great. They have lots of good tips for visiting countries all over the world. Their format is easy for referancing while you travel. And they are small enough to fit in your day pack as you travel. The photos have helped me label my photos post-trip! I purchase a DK travel guide for every country we visit. Love Dk Travel guides!
