This pocket guide to Sydney, Australia keeps up the Frommer tradition of providing you with just about everything you need for a complete tour of the city. The maps are excellent. The one in the back is large but folded just to the size of the book...will be very handy. We now know where to stay, where and what to eat, and what not to miss. Trying to collect all this information off of various internet sites was getting to be too time consuming. This was an excellent investment. Thanks, Amazon, for carrying it!

The is the best book I found for a quick visit to Sydney. If you are going to be in the city for a few days, I highly recommend that you take this with you. It is compact and can fit in your purse. The best part is that it is filled with information, maps, sample day walks around the city, and directions for taking day trips outside the city.

This is not a good Sydney travel book and I will not recommend this to anybody. This book gives some highlights and not good as a tour guide. The one-day/two day itineraries are not useful.

4.0 out of 5 stars handy small guide
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2010
I purchased this guidebook because I wanted a small, pocket-size guidebook for when I'm actually traveling around the city. I have not made my trip yet, but I believe it will fill my needs nicely. It looks to be perfect for a short stay (1 to 4 days). It has a map that comes out, so you could leave the book and just carry the map. (I hate carrying extraneous stuff when I travel/tour.) The only caveat is that the book has limited information for some parts of trip planning, particularly as it comes to hotels. But you have many options via the internet to investigate hotels.

My wife and I spent four days in Sydney (wish we had more time!) and found this guide invaluable. Although you can find great travel tips on the Internet, it's great to have a pocket-sized guide that you can carry with you as you explore the city. Highly recommended.

This may be the only book you need if your heading to Sydney and nearby surrounds. It covers about all you need to know for a week in Sydney.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Pocket Guide to Sydney
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2009
FROMMER'S SYDNEY DAY BY DAY hits the most of the highlights the beautiful city of Sydney has to offer. In addition to providing brief, but informative accounts of various city attractions including restaurants, shopping sites, and accommodations, the Frommer guidebook offers "sixteen smart ways to see the city" in three categories: "the best-full day tours, "the best special interest tours," and "the best neighborhood walks." Recommendations for tourists are on-the-mark, and are consistent with what the locals will tell you (e.g., taking the inexpensive Manly Ferry as both an outstanding ride and a wonderful way to see the city). The book is easily portable, and contains a removable, easy-to-read map of downtown Sydney.

The neighborhood maps in SYDNEY DAY BY DAY are superb, but unfortunately--unless I am somehow overlooking it--there is no key, such as an index map, that shows you where the neighborhood is located in relation to the rest of the city. As for other shortcomings, they are few and far between. I would note that it is a bit skimpy in identifying good accommodations and restaurants, but it is after all a pocket guide. Also, the section on excursions away from the city, such as a day trip to the lovely Blue Mountains, serves to provide no more than suggestions. But one can easily find further information on such excursions after arriving in Sydney. (With respect to the Blue Mountains, I would suggest to the traveler, contrary to the "Practical Matters" section on p. 147, not to take the Blue Mountain Explorer Bus unless you are really going to make use of it either by making numerous, quick stops here and there on its circular, one-way route or by staying more than a day. Otherwise, the Trolley Bus is a better value and goes in two directions. If you do decide on the Explorer Bus, consider buying a joint train and bus "Explorer Pass" at Central Station in Sydney.)

Sydney is a marvelous city; FROMMER'S SYDNEY DAY BY DAY will help you make the most of your visit.
