In general, Flashbooking guides have been written for giving the essential information about the most visited cities in the world and in particular for any traveller or first-time visitor. For a short visit, a week-end, a city break, these free pocket guides are useful printable and downloadable tools available online.
Buenos Aires is the third largest city in South America and is made up of 47 districts, inhabited by approximately 3 million people.
These people referred to as Portenos,(Port People) are strongly characterized by their neo-latin language. This complex,energetic and seductive sea-port city was, for centuries, the gateway to Argentina.
In the Buenos Aires City guide students, families and backpackers can get a large selection of cheap or low cost accommodation with plenty of low cost solutions in budget youth hostels, bed and breakfast Buenos Aires, guesthouses, cheap hotel deals.
Favoured for its geographical position, at the mouth of a large river network, it is the departure point for numerous road and rail links. Surrounded by the almost unlimitless Pampas, this vast urban area is a metropolis open twenty four hours a day.
Founded by the Spanish in 1536, it became the capital of Argentina in 1880., During the Colonial Period, the city grew, forming square-shaped districts around the Plaza de Mayo, which, even today, still preserves its beautiful colonial centre, where it is possible to admire the XVIII Century buildings in Peruvian Rococo and Portugese style.
Flashbooking policy tends to privilege small and family-run hotels in order to promote an alternative tourism respectful of cultures and different societies.
Flashbooking chose to provide backpackers, students and families with a list of budget selected and independent accommodations worldwide, mostly run by locals, in order to promote an alternative tourism respectful of cultures and different societies. For this and other reasons Flashbooking is becoming a recognized source of information and services for who loves creating a trip by him/herself and book bed nights securely online.
Flashbooking’s happy travellers can book their rooms and beds not only in cheap hotels or cheap hostel Buenos Aires but also consider other budget accommodations in Bed and Breakfast, Guesthouses, Campsites, apartments, farm houses and much more.
Flashbooking accommodation database is easily available online and comes completed with all relevant information about youth hostel and hotel location and map, description, services, hostel contacts, customer ratings, six pictures and updated prices inclusive of taxes and services together with instant real availability.
Having the reservation final price is also convenient as it does give the transparency our users pretend while booking. Having the final total amount of your booking means you do not have to worry about other extra surprises!
So mates, we are looking forward to finding you THE budget accommodation that meets your needs and pocket for your next trip! Last but not least, if you wish to help us, you can either give your personal ratings of some accommodations, lodgings, bed and breakfast, youth hostels and budget small hotels where you stayed, or enlarging the hostel offer by reporting some new hostel contacts!

Help answer the question about travel guides
Where can I get Travel guides that I can Download ?
I'm Travelling South East Asia, Oz, Fiji, Hawaii and LA. I would like to have travel guides that I can put on to my Ipod instead of books when travelling due to weight and space.
Any suggestions? Free would be great but not the determining factor.
Thanks
I am looking for files that I can read like a book as opposed to any type of audio tour guide

@NoirHeureux respect spain . Im catalan and those who want independence are a huge minority. Spain i a lovely and wonderful country ALL OF IT why should we hate it ….
historical reasons of the middle ages? who cares…..
Some basic language guide for travelers to communicate with the locals. Also to include important telephone numbers like embassies, airport, major airlines, police, tourist info center, etc…
MS office Visio has an option for those kind of things
My friend, may I recommend the "Not For Tourist Guide to New York City." This little book has plenty of information on New York City and maps to everything from stores to transportation. You can order the latest version at the link below.
Good luck
Native New Yorker
Very nice, hope that’s true, but as Spanish you are you must speak Spanish OK?
You should engage the services of a graphic designer to draw up the maps for you.

I find that Let's Go and Lonely Planet seem to be more for the younger crowd and Frommers is for an older crowd…. not familar with thomas cook though…. another great book for Europe that is good and widely used among everyone is Rick Steves…
As a 26yr old, I prefer the Let's Go, Lonely Planet ones myself…. and for europe, I prefer Rick Steves as he has a lot of information about some really amazing places that aren't too popular plus theres some history to it… and i know he's very familar with the area… some I can trust when traveling.
Reasons i said what i said is as a backpacker, i have seen other people younger than me have the Lets Go and lonely planet books, plus the shoe string one tha ti can think of right now, but the other travelers i met had those books and they were my age or younger.
As rick steves would say
Happy Travels!
@NoirHeureux Yes, I’m catalan, but we don’t hate the rest of Spain and Latin America, only some catalans, a minority, hate the centralist system of Spain and they want more autonomy for Catalonia or independence, but for example if you ask where i’m from I’ll answer you from Catalonia, Spain.
Jajaja Pero si toda España es linda!
I don’t, so does many of my friends…
@qalxeero I went to your profile and you like Fatih Hill and Rodeos??? Hahahaha.
@NoirHeureux but what do you think,? Barcelona is a very cosmopolitan city with a lot of races and cultures, and there’s no problem, don’t believe youtube comments.
jajajajajajajajajaj
Are you Catalan? I’ve always wanted to meet a Catalan friend, I love the Catalan culture and the Catalan language too, is amazing! But I haven’t met the first one who don’t hate the rest of Spain or Latin America.

I personally have had guides in Kenya, Tanzania, Egypt, Amsterdam (just a city tour), and Peru. Only one was not so great that was Amsterdam. The others were very serious about providing the best experience. They all loved their country, and were passionate about telling its history. They shared the good and the bad. They showed us the real history, even things that might not be so "tourist friendly". I've had guides invite me to their home and met their wives, and children. They've cooked dinner for me (not part of the trip) They've gone way above and beyond the call of duty because I showed them that I really cared and wanted to learn. I guess what I am telling you is this… if you are passionate about learning about a place, your guide will respond to that (they get so many that just kind of pass through). I personally don't get much from tour books. I get so much more from making friends with the guides. They are real people, and they have real educations about history and places. All you have to do is ask. Hope this helps.
the indians from mexico etc are jealous thats why they slander spaniards cos they arent white n they are ugly lol disgustin indians
Well, it sounds like Dutch travel guides about New York City are just about as bad as USA travel guides are about Amsterdam!
They may be referring to the fact that ALL of Central Park is closed to cars on weekends, but, other than that, no, there's no such thing as car-free weekends here at all, sorry!
And DON'T apologize for your English, you sound far better than most of the Americans who write in here, to tell you the truth!
Good luck, and the link below is to a webpage about Central Park, which is huge, by the way…
Entonces compañero, es muy bonita tu provincia, para serte sincero, la verdad me mataría ir a Cataluña, porqué es muy cultural, es hermosa. Y ustedes son muy conocidos por acá en Latino América, por todas las protestas, ah y oprqué de allá salen muchas personas estupendas como Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, y Antony Gaudi entre muchos otros!!!
La verdad si considero que Cataluña, Valencia y Baleares, es maravillosa!!! Y claro está por su belleza. ^^
I really loved too much Barcelona but because of that kind of comments I quit the idea of going to Spain, maybe in Madrid or in Seville, I can find different people.
@NoirHeureux Sí pero no puedo nombrarte todas las ciudades y pueblos no acabariamos nunca jaja
there is hard to find guidance there, even for a map
so be sure you take a travel guide with you, maybe even two ones
also, the schedules in travel guides might be different than what you find on the spot or they might be in renovation, closed etc. So either call them(if you know Spanish) or go EARLY.
I used Frommer's Peru Guide because they give interesting comments
jajaja lo sé, por eso sólo di España ^^ Aunque si!
I have a number of links on my site, http://www.bestfreetravel.info, in the related links area. There are a number of clearinghouse type sites for travel brochures and information. Sometimes it is better to call the tourism bureau directly to request information, then you can tell them the time of the year you'll be vivisting and get better information. You don't want a list of autumn activities when you're visiting in the spring.
Maybe one of these other forums can help you.

You can also check with your library. Lonely Planet is one popular TG that many backpackers use. Check their website for downloads you can buy!
Me alegro mucho que te guste! Cuando tengas la oportunidad de venir te recibiremos con los brazos abiertos pero en ciudades grandes ya sabes que hay gente de todo tipo jaja. Si vienes a Cataluña y en general España te recomiendo las siguientes ciudades: Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, Salamanca, Zaragoza, San Sebastian, Bilbao, Sevilla, Granada, La Coruña. Y muchas más pero estas son las más importantes, Saludos a Latino America!!!
By all means check out http://www.visitpa.com/visitpa/home.pa
If I knew how, I'd be one already!!
Haha but in all seriousness, you need to have a well qualified background, such as a pro chef, (Anthony Bourdain) , or journalism skills, with a myriad of information, a well developed vocabulary and most importantly, an entertaining person who can present the place. Don't be fooled, alot of those hosts research afterwards to add commentary to the show, it's not like they know all the facts that they edit into the show. But I think the travel channel is looking for a personality who has a unique 'charm' about them. Not to sound vain, but frankly, I think I'd be great! How 'bout a joint effort? haha. Try sending in videos or something or go to casting calls.
As well as looking on the internet, you could go to a travel agents office and ask for travel brochures. If any of you have parents who are members of AAA, they can get travel brochures there too. For your internet searches, enter the name of the country, tourism in the search bar…like this, " Singapore, tourism" …and you will get lots of info.
