Book Reviews of Argentina (Country Guide)
Book Review: Disappointing compared to other Loney Planets!
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book for my 3 week holiday with 2 friends in Argentina this summer. Over the last couple of years I have bought several Lonely Planet books, mainly covering places in Europe.
I have to say that I was very disappointed with several things in this book- first of all, I found several errors due to carelessness, such as restaurants etc. not to have been drawn correctly on the map (which made our search for for these very tedious). On the plusside, literally all of the restaurants they recommend are good or even brilliant!
Another problem is the maps, which in general were very unprecise and often lacked several streets!!
A minor but annoying detail, one time we tried to call a bus company to ask for bustimes, but instead we get an old lady on the phone who says she often gets these phone calls and she has no idea why! So much for accuracy!
Overall I would say that the little stories here and there are excellent, the restaurant guides are fabulous, the hostel advice mediocre (we found 2 amazing party hostels which they hadnt mentioned and stayed at 3 not so sensational ones that they had) and the random mistakes, especially the accurateness of the maps, appaling!
My friend had bought the Time Out Buenos Aires, which obviously because being for the capital was not only more detailed, but more informative about sightseeing, shopping etc., and due to the pictures a pleasure to read!
Therefore, 3 stars to Lonely Planet Argentina, Ive read many better editions!!
