excellent help for travelling

I recently discovered the Time Out guides when travelling to Buenos Aires last November. If you have gone thru the backpacking stage, Time Out gives you accurate information about restaurants, shopping and hotels, and it does not mean you have to go the expensive way. Maps are intuitive and easy to use and the guide structure allows you to find what you are looking for whithout the annoying feeling I've had with other guides.
