Time Out Sydney (Time Out Guides)

Welcome to a multicultural melting pot of sun, style, and sophistication. Sydney's laidback lifestyle has always drawn tourists from all over the world for the seaside, but thanks to a new influx of bill-topping locals, the Emerald City is now pulling in as many culture vultures as beach bums. Sydney is no longer a colonial backwater but a chosen destination to discover some of the world's leading restaurants and signature chefs, as well as innovative young fashion designers. The guide features the best of Sydney's beaches for surfing, swimming, and sunshine as well as scenic nature walks through bushland, past secluded bays, and spectacular lookout points.

Plenty of information on restaurants (especially pricey ones), cafes, clubs, etc... but less focus on touristic places and hotels. Average on general info (how to get in and out of airport, tips, currency, etc) and history. Not so much on excursion outside the town. I guess this is exactly what we should expect from Time-Out, which is mainly for entertainment of the locals.

If you visit the city to "enjoy the city" rather than enjoy tourism, this is probably the book for you.
