| Time Out Guide: Barcelona (Ebury Press, ISBN: 9781846700477) Changes are afoot in the Catalan capital, with the palpable surge of national pride as the region is granted more independence giving a boost to every aspect of Barcelona life. As arts agendas are given a fillip and ever more grander architectural schemes are dreamt up to keep pace with Jean Nouvel's, Richard Rogers' and Enric Miralles' recent contributions to the skyline, the city has also seen a return to its roots, with old traditions brushed off and ancient festivals given renewed vigour. The tenth annual "Time Out Barcelona" looks at the changes and remains the ultimate reference for all the essentials: where to stay, where to eat, where to shop and what to see. more>> |

| Time Out Guide: Boston (Ebury Press, ISBN: 9781846700330) Now that the dust from the Big Dig - the largest, most complicated highway project in US history - has settled, Boston is free of the unsightly elevated expressway that scarred its cityscape. Formerly divided neighbourhoods are reunited, making sightseeing more accessible and appealing. Other regeneration projects, including the gleaming glass Institute of Contemporary Art (the first new museum in almost a century) on a formerly barren stretch of the waterfront, have come to fruition, bolstering Boston's claim to world-class status and bringing new vitality to the city.
Reflecting this is an explosion of chic shops and restaurants, some creeping into long-neglected areas. "Time Out Boston's" team of local journalists, hand-picked from the mainstream and alternative press, is on top of all the latest developments. more>> |

| Time Out Guide: Brussels (Ebury Press, ISBN: 9781904978619) The concept of Brussels as the crossroads of Europe has never been more relevant than it is today. With the accession of ten new EU member states in 2004 and Romania and Bulgaria to come in 2007, Brussels is a true cosmopolitan hybrid - ever developing and ever burgeoning. Continuing expansion of high-speed train links and Brussels airport also makes it an important transport hub.
This all means that Brussels has more residents and visitors pouring in than ever before. But whilst cranes dominate the skyline, the old city centre remains defiantly unchanged. This mix of Euro-modernism and Belgian cultural tradition sets the future trend for Brussels as it comes to terms with the new and rigorously protects the old.
"Time Out Brussels" gives the visitor an insight into the way the city works and lives and deconstructs the myth that Brussels is just a faceless bureaucratic city with a nice old square in the middle. Our resident writers brim with local knowledge and are keen to share it. more>> |

| Time Out Guide: Budapest (Ebury Press, ISBN: 9781904978497) Budapest is no longer just the tatty gem of old, the Danube pearl tucked away behind Vienna, cherished by a handful of curious and discerning travellers. Now an EU capital, Hungary's flagship city has added cosmopolitan luxury to its five-star hotel stock, the latest treatments to its modernised spa centres, inventive reductions, drizzles and sauces to its cuisine, and designer vroom to its cafes. Without losing the charms of yesteryear, nor hiking up the ticket prices (still in Hungarian forints) for a swift transport network, grand opera or a visit to the most ornate of cinemas, Hungary's capital is amiable and affordable. Using a pool of resident writers who have lived through the changes from immediately post-Soviet to EU metropolis, this fifth edition of "Time Out Budapest" evaluates the contemporary city and suggests how a rapidly increasing number of visitors arriving by budget airline or major carrier, can best enjoy it. The empire strikes back as the classic dream palaces of the fin-de-siecle Habsburg days are being revamped into five-star hotels worthy of any major European capital. The Grand Hotel Royal, the recently opened art nouveau masterpiece Gresham Palace and the New York Palota, (housing the legendary cafe of the same name) set to open in the summer of 2005, offer the most up-to-date spas, kitchens and designer bars in opulent edifices left crumbling for decades. Oddball Hungarians are commonplace in one of the world's most eccentric countries. We celebrate the weird inventors (Biro, Rubik), escapologists (Houdini), fame-seekers (La Cicciolina, Zsa-Zsa and Eva Gabor) and suicidal dramatists (Ferenc Molnar), who have all given the world their own wacky take on popular culture. Disused courtyards, enclosed green spaces and boats moored on the Danube transform summer in Budapest in the hectic open-air clubbing scene. Locals no longer need to tramp off to the tacky delights of Lake Balaton to escape the sweltering metropolis - all over the city, obscure outdoor spaces open up as hot nightlife spots until the first trams start running. Where to find them is the problem - "Time Out Budapest" provides a full alfresco guide. Alternative art is reviving the rustbelt 90 minutes from Budapest. Take a trip to Dunaujvaros, once called Sztalinvaros (Stalintown), where the Institute of Contemporary Art shows the leading artists of the day in a town built as a post-war Socialist utopia.

| Time Out Guide: Buenos Aires (Ebury Press, ISBN: 9781904978985) Sprawling and strange, magical and melancholy, continually veering between triumph and disaster, Buenos Aires is an alluring city. Written entirely by residents, Time Out Buenos Aires casts an independent and critical eye on the places, people and culture that have made this metropolis great and the contemporary trends that are conspiring to make it greater still. Looking past the ‘Paris of South America’ clichés, we make sense of the confusing jumble of influences that is Buenos Aires’ trademark: its century-old cafés and world-famous steak houses; its word-of-mouth bars and backstreet bistros; its late-night tango salons and cutting edge all-night clubs; its prestigious cultural landmarks and improvised warehouse galleries; the comforts of tradition rubbing up against the shock of the new. Honest, detailed and informative, Time Out Buenos Aires is the perfect companion for the modern traveller. more>> |

| Time Out Guide: Copenhagen (Ebury Press, ISBN: 9781846700026) It is no longer a secret that Copenhagen is the perfect weekend destination, with its beguiling blend of super-cool shops, fabulous restaurants and world class museums all conveniently compressed within a pretty, pedestrian-friendly heart. In recent years, visitors have also begun to discover an alternative Copenhagen, away from the royal and historic riches of its 1,000-year-old centre. Previously down at heel parts of the city like Vesterbro and Norrebro have emerged as groovy hotspots where cutting edge fashion, food and design flourishes. So, while many are lured to Copenhagen by its rich 20th century design legacy, they are as likely to leave having sampled the best that modern Scandinavia has to offer. more>> |
